Memphis Grizzlies rookie Ja Morant threw down one of the dunks of the year on Wednesday night against the Suns, which doubled as one of the most athletic fourth-quarter daggers you’ll ever see.
With the Grizzlies leading 109-105 on the road in the final minute, Morant pulled 6-foot-10 Suns center Aron Baynes out to the 3-point line, then flashed past the big man with a crossover move. Baynes tried to recover and contest the shot, but Morant took flight and threw down a right-handed dunk over Baynes’ outstretched arm as he was falling away from the basket. The bucket put the Grizzlies up by 6 with 43.4 seconds left to play, and they held on to win the game.
Aron Baynes never had a chance.
