OK, so it wasn’t the winningest Grizzlies regular season ever. But it was one of the most important — and most exhilarating.
The Memphis Grizzlies ended the season with a loss, but not without a few laughs and a triple-double from John Konchar.

Calkins: Grizzlies look ‘damn good’ in Morant’s return
Ja Morant had 21 points, nine assists and a block as the Grizzlies shook off a two-game skid and crushed the Pelicans.
Good news, Grizzlies fans. Ja Morant returned to the lineup Saturday. And the Grizzlies celebrated by smashing the Pelicans.
The Grizzlies, coming off two straight losses, including a blowout against the Nuggets, could see Morant on the court this weekend.
After the Grizzlies beat the Warriors in January, Ja Morant stared down a kid in a Golden State jersey. The kid is Maddox Hehn, 8, from Nashville. He was back at FedExForum Monday night. But he sure looked different this time around.
As part of the NBA’s anniversary legacy program, the Grizzlies brought a new dance studio and outdoor basketball court to the school.
Ja Morant wants Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson to come to Memphis for a playoff game. Will the point guard have to flip the former wrestler’s NBA allegiance?
The Grizzlies, who just dropped two on the road, are encouraged after Ja Morant’s 5-on-5 practice.
Nikola Jokic was bloodied in the first quarter, but he returned with a headband and picked apart the Grizzlies defense the rest of the game. Related stories:

The Grizzlies coach said he’s hoping to see Morant and Dillon Brooks play together for at least one more game before the postseason. There is a chance that could happen.
The 20-year-old might not be the best at unpacking, but during his journey to adulthood in Memphis, the rookie has transformed into a useful bench weapon for the Grizzlies.
Jaren Jackson Jr. led with 28 points, and Kyle Anderson provided the big shot, but the Grizzlies lost traction in OT.Related story:
If the team’s recent good luck and good management hold up, then the Grizzlies’ rock-solid foundation might make “this could be our year” a realistic, recurring mantra for the next decade.

Few if any NBA players have defended both more and better than Jaren Jackson Jr. this season.
Ja Morant, Killian Tillie and Tyrell Terry will all miss Tuesday’s game against the Jazz. Dillon Brooks is doubtful. But Steven Adams, Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. will all return.
Ja Morant is nearing the end of his evaluation period for his knee injury. “He’s doing well,” said Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins.
The Grizzlies were missing four starters, all their point guards and (by halftime) their head coach. But they beat the best team in the NBA anyway. How did they do it? The same way they’ve won so many games this season. With irrepressible (and irresistible!) joy.
Dillon Brooks, the only usual starter to play, led the team’s inspired performance, which included a Santi Aldama sequence that sent the Grizzlies into a frenzy.Related story:
