MEMPHIS, Tenn. (AP) — Ja Morant struggled to see out of his left eye after being punched going for a rebound late in the third quarter. Determined to make up for missing a would-be winning layup at the end of Game 1, the All-Star guard proved he could still find the basket. Morant scored 47 points to match his postseason high and carry the Memphis Grizzlies into a tie in the Western Conference semifinals with a 106-101 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.
