Ja Morant stuns the entire Spurs at once
Ja Morant during the 3rd quarter made a scintillating play that caught everybody by surprise. Morant, during the play, came off the screen but as a result, he was now being guarded by his old defender plus the switched defender. Morant slick with his dribbles, went behind the back splitting the defense to penetrate and drive to the rim.
As he went for the drive, he was immediately triple-teamed as he went along paint’s elbow. Morant, known for his fine court vision, saw Brandon Clarke. Morant then wasted no time in throwing the lob to him off the left hand as he imbalanced out of bounds. Clarke then caught the lob and finished it perfectly. Here are the fans reacting to the play on Twitter:
