If I were there, it would have been 2 wins and 2 losses! Morant's big talk. The media's Morant remarks are understandable

Captain of Memphis Grizzlies ace Ja Morant.
It's a controversial statement.
CBS Sports in the U.S. said on the 28th (Korea time) 'If Morant had confidence through the local media, the series would have been tied'
This means that he was able to achieve two wins and two losses.
In a local media interview, Ja Morant had a perfect understanding of Oklahoma City's airlift system. If I was healthy, the series would have been 2-2 and I would have gone back to Oklahoma for Game 5.
Oklahoma is No. 1 in the West. It's the best at this point. He is also a strong favorite.
The Memphis Grizzlies managed to secure the eighth-place Western ticket through the play-in tournament. There was a difference in power.
Oklahoma showed formidable power in the first game. He won the game by 131 to 80, a whopping 51 points. Oklahoma won the second game as well. The victory was 118-99. a 19-point gap.
However, an upset occurred in Game 3 at home in Memphis. Memphis seemed to win the game perfectly from the first half. However, Ja Morant was injured in a rough foul by Oklahoma Rugens Dot and was no longer allowed back on the field.
Memphis won 114-108 at the end of the second half with a strong back-to-back. It seemed like the series was actually over here.
Game 4, Memphis struggled in Morant's absence. Oklahoma managed to win the game. They won the game by a two-point margin of 117 to 115.
In other words, Ja Morant's words are not a pretense. If Morant had been present, the third game was highly likely to be caught, and the fourth game could have had a big impact.
CBS Sports in the U.S. also understand why Morant thinks like this. If Morant had been on the court, Oklahoma would not have come from behind with a 29-point deficit in at least Game 3. Memphis scored only 31 points in the second half without Morant. If Morant had been there, he would have won and lost 2 games'
And in Game 4, Memphis lost by just two points. Memphis had a chance to tie the game just before the game, and Oklahoma had to foule intentionally. 'With Morant, we could have taken at least two attacks to our advantage.'"
