Morant — who leads the NBA in scoring with 42 points in this post-season, according to ESPN stats and information — averaged 38.3 points, 8.3 assists and 6.7 rebounds in this second-round series.

“You know how Ja was in the fourth quarter,” Garen Jackson Jr.. He said about the team missing Morant in the clutch. “He pretty much dominates every fourth quarter. I have to take a look at him, and see how certain the look was, but I think we were just missing out. We just missed it.”

We had a chance. We had the lead. And then we kind of lost it; you know what I mean? I saw how it went. We just did a few more shots, it’s a different story, especially in hindsight. … We’re definitely done. But we’ll take some of that in game five.”
