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

Against the Bucks, Morant posted 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 as the Grizzlies led by as many as 31 points the entire game. Morant’s performance was so dominant that it was actually historic.

On Thursday night, Ja Morant posted the eighth-fastest triple-double in NBA history. He achieved the triple-double in 21 points and 28 seconds. The statistics were published via @statmamba.

After losing two straight games and suffering numerous injuries, it was clear that the Memphis Grizzlies needed an uplifting performance. After losing to the Nets last night, it looked like Morant was starting to have a chip on his shoulder. With this chip he delivered one of his best performances ever.

“That’s definitely one that I think should be one of the highlights of the Sports Center tonight,” Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins said of Morant’s pass.

After defeating the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night, the Memphis Grizzlies are 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 record of 1-4.
