- 6ft 3in Morant launches himself over helpless Poeltl
Ja Morant threw down a massive dunk over seven-footer Jakob Poeltl and scored a career-high 52 points, lifting the Memphis Grizzlies over the San Antonio Spurs 118-105 on Monday night.
The arena was still buzzing from Morant’s fast-break slam late in the second quarter when Steven Adams delivered a length-of-the-court pass to Morant, who caught it mid-air and flipped in a buzzer-beater from the left baseline for a 68-58 halftime lead. Morant also hit a three-pointer from near the logo with the shot clock running down, creating a load of highlights from a memorable night.
