Ja Morant with an electric block and dunk, sparking a big Grizzlies 3rd quarter.
Ja Morant had already blessed the NBA evening with an all-time highlight once his astounding, above-the-box chasedown block on Bennedict Mathurin was ruled legal.
And then the dunk happened.
Ja saw daylight. Jalen Smith went up to contest. Ja reared back. And back. And back.
*BOOM*
The detonation set off NBA Twitter. Here’s a sampling of the reaction:
