Ja Morant drove left, cut in the middle of the lane and was so quick he split a Milwaukee defense that knew he was coming, got to the rim and hit the layup that put the Grizzlies 111-110 with: 07.3 seconds remaining in the game.
Then Jrue Holiday arrived.

Holiday hit what turned out to be the winner of the game and the Bucks took the 112-111 victory.
Milwaukee had no more timeouts and had to go fast, but it worked to their advantage as Holiday got the ball and the Grizzlies defense was forced to scramble. Holiday simulated the drive and used that momentum to step back, create space, and drain the shot.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 26 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, while Khris Middleton scored 22 and added 10 boards for Milwaukee in the win.
Morant scored 35, while Dillon Brooks added 23 points for the Grizzlies.
