Ja Morant had 32 points, eight assists and four rebounds in his postseason debut while Dillon Brooks was not far behind tallying 24 points. Desmond Bane also performed well with 17 pints while Jaren Jackson Jr. did with a dozen points. Steven Adams had a subpar game laying a goose egg but Brandon Clarke coming off the bench tried to fill in the slack doing 13 points and 12 boards.
