Ja Morant

Unintimidated by the matchup against a star-studded Milwaukee Bucks team already in need of a confidence-building win, Ja Morant — on Halloween night, of all occasions — raced through the paint, preparing to introduce one of the scariest sights a rim protector can imagine. Already cemented into the evening’s highlight reel with multiple jaw-dropping at-the-rim finishes, Morant threatens another, turboing to the rim with a quickness that nearly leaves two different Milwaukee Bucks hardwood bound. Showing both mercy and creativity at once, Morant sets the bait on Taurean Prince, forcing him to leave his feet before unleashing a room service dime of his own to orchestrate a teammate’s jam. Coordinating a 23-point win, Morant’s final reel offered a share of everything, including one incredibly-memorable alley-oop pass to a teammate while literally sitting on the ground. The Memphis Grizzlies superstar, in career triple-double No. 12, fittingly, put forth a performance that stood tall, erupting for 26 points (on 9-of-16 shooting), alongside 10 rebounds and 14 assists, one steal, and two 3-pointers.
