Ja Morant follows dunk of the year candidate with ridiculous buzzer-beater

By Adam Stites | Last updated 2/28/22

Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant has provided some of the NBA's best highlights of the 2021-22 season, but the two he added to the reel at the end of the first half of a game against the San Antonio Spurs may be his best ever.

First, Morant had one of the best dunks of the year when he went straight over the Spurs' 7'0 center Jakob Poeltl for a thunderous dunk late in the second quarter.

Two minutes later, Morant made an even more astounding play when he caught a pass from Steven Adams that traveled the length of the court and somehow turned to shoot in just 0.4 seconds.

At halftime, Morant had 29 points with four successful three-point tries in as many attempts. Two days ago, Morant scored a career-high 46 points in a 116-110 win against the Chicago Bulls.
