March 7th, 2020 was highlighted by Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant matching up with Trae Young on the Atlanta Hawks in a vintage Point Guard battle. The Golden State Warriors took down the Philadelphia 76ers in a close game as both teams were heavily wounded by injuries which kept out key players such as Steph Curry, Klay Thompson, Joel Embiid, and Ben Simmons.
Jamal Murray also hit an improbable three-point shot from deep at the half-time buzzer against Cleveland giving Charlotte some PTSD from events that occurred earlier in the week. The Cavs managed to beat the Nuggets while the Hornets upset the reeling Rockets. Check out the Best in Sports from 3/7.
