We don’t stop Ja Morant anymore, if we ever did. The Grizzlies prodigy wandered against the Spurs, on the night of Monday to Tuesday, to lead Memphis to a prolific success (118-105). Morant broke his career high, and the franchise’s by the way, with a game with 52 points. With, as always, a high artistic note.
The star of the Grizzlies (3rd in the West) has, moreover, combined spectacle and efficiency, weaving his web of “Spider-Man” in every corner of the FedEx Forum and spending almost more time in the air than on the floor. , by dint of acrobatic gestures to make the crowd rise.
A sick dunk on Jakob Poeltl
His end to the second quarter was impressively powerful and controlled. Not content with putting on three shots in a row behind the arc, he crushed a huge dunk on the head of Jakob Poeltl, 2.16 m and which gives him back 25 cm, before scoring at the buzzer, in an off-centre position, by volleying a ball in the air thrown from the other side of the field by Steve Adams in quarterback mode.
With 29 pawns at the break, Morant did not stop there. Still, Spurs resisted. And in the money-time, he scored 13 points in a row, still flying on double-steps, to complete the job. World-class.
