Ja Morant made an 11-foot floater with 18 seconds left, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the Minnesota Timberwolves 127-125.
The Timberwolves had the ball in a tie game with 54 seconds left, but Jaren Jackson Jr. stole the ball from Julius Randle, lifting the Grizzlies’ chance to win from 45% to 47%. A basket would have put the Timberwolves ahead. They had the ball down 2 after a timeout, but Anthony Edwards missed a pull-up 3-pointer at the buzzer that would have put them ahead.

The five plays that moved the chance to win most, in order.
Each play from the side of the team that made it: its chance to win before and after, and the change in percentage points. On the court, each shot is the shooter’s face (gray when he missed), bigger the more it moved the chance. The Grizzlies’ chance bottomed out at 9.5% (4th quarter, 1:41 left). Chances from the site’s game model (the per-play numbers the Clutch and Performances tabs use aren’t built for this game).
112 points from the field on 108 shots: 7.6 fewer than the league scores from the same zones.
