Yes Morant drove left, cut down the middle of the track and was so fast that he split a Milwaukee defense that knew he was coming, got to the edge and hit the layup that the Grizzlies 111 -110 came up with: 07.3 seconds left in the game.
Then Jrue Holiday happened.

Holiday was a winner of the game and the Bucks won 112-111.
Milwaukee lost no time 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 falsified the ride and used the momentum to step back, create space and tap the shot.
Giannis Antetokounmpo had 26 points, 11 rebounds and eight assists, while Khris Middleton scored 22 and added 10 boards for Milwaukee.
Morant scored 35, while Dillon Brooks added 23 points for the Grizzlies.
