Ja Morant dunks on 7-foot-4 Victor Wembanyama before going crazy in celebration as he leads the Grizzlies to win over the Spurs

  • Morant let out a roar and shook his head after throwing down over Wemby 
  • Memphis finalized an emphatic win, led by Morant’s 26 points and ten rebounds

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant threw down the hammer on a man who is one foot, two inches taller than himself as the exclamation mark on an emphatic 106-98 victory over the San Antonio Spurs.

Up 86-70, with about 9:15 to go, Morant went flush to the basket, dribbled past Wembanyama and threw down a dunk over him.

An ecstatic Morant screamed to the crowd to punctuate the moment – as he led all scorers with 26 points alongside ten assists.

Santi Aldama added 13 points and 11 rebounds for Memphis, which snapped a three-game losing streak

Wembanyama led the Spurs with 20 points, seven rebounds and four blocks. Keldon Johnson finished with 19 points, along with six rebounds and four assists. Julian Champagnie and Jeremy Sochan scored 12 points apiece.

The game was a matchup between two teams mired at the bottom of the Western Conference. 

The Spurs are trying to learn on the fly with the youngest team in the NBA, centered around Wembanyama, the top pick in the 2023 draft. 

Meanwhile, Memphis has dealt with mixed results in finding a balance and the right rotations since Morant’s return last month from a 25-game suspension for a displaying a gun on social media.

Memphis is last in the league in average points scored at 106.8, and the two teams rank at the bottom in offensive rating.

The first half, a low-scoring, poor-shooting two quarters, fit the narrative. Both teams went into halftime connecting at less than 40% from the field, and Memphis was 5 of 19 from 3-point range. The Spurs’ issue was a dozen turnovers in the half.

Wembanyama had an effect on the Grizzlies’ shooting with four blocks in the first half.

Memphis improved its shooting in the third quarter, allowing the Grizzlies to build the lead to as many as 18 in the second half.
