The Memphis Grizzlies have done it again! On Saturday night, the Grizzlies defeated the San Antonio Spurs 106-98 behind a stellar performance from rookie sensation Ja Morant. The 21-year-old point guard scored 26 points and had 8 assists in the win.
One of the most memorable moments of the game came late in the fourth quarter when Morant threw down a thunderous dunk over Spurs center Jakob Poeltl. The dunk was so impressive that it even drew a reaction from Spurs rookie Luka Wembanyama, who was standing nearby.
Morant’s dunk was just one of many highlights for the Grizzlies in this game. The team shot an impressive 48.3% from the field and had five players score in double figures. Jonas Valanciunas led the way with 19 points and 10 rebounds, while Dillon Brooks added 18 points and 7 rebounds.
The Grizzlies have now won three of their last four games and are currently in sixth place in the Western Conference standings. With Morant leading the way, the Grizzlies look poised to make a playoff push this season.
The Spurs, meanwhile, have now lost three straight games and are struggling to find consistency. DeMar DeRozan led the way for San Antonio with 22 points and 8 assists, but it wasn’t enough to get the win.
It was a great win for the Grizzlies and a great performance from Morant. The rookie continues to impress and looks like he could be a star in this league for years to come.
