February 28th, 2022 was remembered for Ja Morant’s legendary 52-point performance that set Grizzlies records while adding a poster dunk over Jakob Poetl and an insane buzzer-beater before the half. Scottie Barnes also entered the record books with an unprecedented all-around stat-line in Raptors history while KAT drained a GW in Cleveland, and Caleb Martin caught a Bulls body in South Beach. Derek Jeter and the Marlins parted ways during the same day as MLB’s “deadline” to agree to a new CBA before cancelling games that got pushed back 1 day.
