Good morning and welcome to the NBA Daily. Coming up, Nikola Jokic had a 61-point triple-double, and we're going to try to wrap our heads around it. And Steph Curry, he also went off. Anthony Slater's here to talk about the night. And we sat down with Sam Amick to catch up on the latest with the Grizzlies and Ja Morant and wonder whether he's going to be moving on this summer.
Good morning, everybody. Good morning, guys. Thanks for staying up, Anthony, and hanging out with us. We originally thought we were going to be talking about Steph Curry right off the top, but Nikola Jokic kind of bumped him from the front page here. A 61 point triple double in a loss. Actually, a crazy game. Anthony, you were you're actually in Memphis.
You were there for the Warriors, the Warriors Grizzlies game. But you caught the you know, the last quarter last the double overtime of this game when the game kind of got absurd. What do you think, man? I mean, this is to me the game of the year. And you maybe didn't see the whole thing I did. But how do you feel about the finish to this game?
Yeah, it was crazy. A lot of shot making. Big threes. Aaron Gordon was hitting big threes. Alexander Walker obviously returning. And then, you know, the Westbrook thing is going to be like the headline probably tomorrow because they had it won. You know, he could have, I guess, dribbled it out with 10 seconds left. Then they probably foul him with eight. I actually don't mind taking the layup.
How do you miss the layup? Yeah, you can't miss it. And then I don't know why you're even getting close to, you know, fouling Alexander Walker there. I mean, look, if he hits it, he hits it. You want some kind of a contest, but it was almost like a fake hustle late contest that put him in danger. And just, I mean, a combo blunder that will be the story. I mean, like Jokic's stat line.
He ruined the game.
you know i mean i hate to say it it it literally is the story um you know he gets that he makes makes a good defensive play makes the right pass to christian brown and blows the layup and and look those things happen but to double down and come back and and to foul nikhil alexander walker when he's firing up a hot potato i mean this was this was i don't think it was a foul
