The Memphis Grizzlies desperately needed a win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, and Ja Morant not only led his team to one, but made history in the process.

Against the Bucks, Morant scored 26 points, 14 assists, 10 rebounds and 1 steal on 56/40/86 shooting from the field. He did it all in less than 29 minutes because the Grizzlies led by as many as 31 points throughout the game. Morant’s performance was so dominant that it was actually historic.

On Thursday night, Ja Morant recorded the eighth-fastest triple-double in NBA history. He achieved the triple-double in 21 points and 28 seconds. The statistic was revealed through @statmamba.

After losing two straight games and suffering a slew of injuries, it was clear that the Memphis Grizzlies needed an uplifting performance. After losing to the Nets last night, it seemed like Morant was starting to harbor some resentment. With that chip he gave one of the best performances in his history.

“I think that’s definitely one that should be on the sports center highlight tonight,” Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said of Morant’s pass.

After defeating the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, the Memphis Grizzlies find themselves back at .500, with an overall record of 3-3. Milwaukee, on the other hand, is now on a four-game losing streak with a 1-4 record.
