The Memphis Grizzlies fell short by just 3 points against the LA Lakers on Friday night. LeBron James’ 37-point performance helped the Lakers secure a victory over the Grizzlies. The highlight of the match, however, turned out to be the closing seconds. The Grizzlies, down by 3 with 15 seconds left, tried to score a 3-pointer. But LeBron James made a steal and scored a reverse dunk. And the rhythm led him to Ja Morant who was sitting courtside. Ja Morant playfully shoved the Lakers’ king back onto the court. LeBron smiled and playfully wiggled his shoulders in celebration.
Following the close loss, Ja Morant sent a cryptic tweet that has set social media ablaze: “this da get back,” he wrote. While the exact meaning remains unclear, fans are buzzing with speculation. Many believe Morant’s tweet could be a declaration of a coming “revenge tour” next season as they finish 13th (27-54) in the persisting one. The Grizzlies had shown moments of excellence and brilliance throughout the season and tonight’s game was a prime example of it, giving a tough fight to a team full of veterans.

Nonetheless, falling short, the Grizzlies’ revenge tour narrative is further fueled by their recent rise. Memphis finished the 2022-2023 season as the second seed in the Western Conference, losing to Lakers 2-4 in the opening round. Prior to that, the team made the playoffs for 2 consecutive years, following a 3-year-draught. Having inched closer to the title and missed out each time, the young squad, thus, looks hungry for success and the fans are all here for it.
