a play by Morant.37:14You'll see none better in the league this year.37:16And the final.37:17See this as he comes under dips under two defenders and on his way down still able to put enough English on this basketball Watch this part Slips between two English and one opportunity This young man is special Derrick Rose Four gone by in the third Grizzlies up 1637:38Look out!37:39Tucks the hammer37:41and brings the house down.37:45Attack the rim then, young fella.37:48Send it in!37:51And the rebound, Brandon Clark.37:52Good defense by Conchard.37:55Moran attacks Bay, spins, hangs in, makes it in.37:59How in the world did he do that?38:01This video game, this is one on two.38:04Gets grabbed around the waist, still is able to put the English on it outside the box and38:10let it go down.38:11Look, this is against a bigger guy.38:12Gets pushed, touched, able to put the English on it.38:16This is just, I call it video game.38:18Milwaukee starting to find the range of the three, but it's maybe a little too late.38:22Correa, speed dribble, oh, yes, in the foul, he somehow spun it in.38:28Oh, that's a dangerous play, though, by Antetokounmpo.38:31Look how quickly the Grizzlies change into the floor,38:34and John Morant, being the best of them all,38:37gets grabbed three, four times as he goes to the basket38:41and is still able to, look at this, contort and finish that shot this season.38:49Dylan Brooks.38:50New Orleans asleep at the switch and a great feed by Morant now.38:57Morant, a little bully ball delivery.39:00Brooks puts it down for a seven point.39:05Williamson going left.39:07Roddy going one-on-one with the defense.39:09Morant spins, drop off.39:10Roddy scores!39:13He was able to jump step through to get the finish,39:16and then Roddy, good defense, and then Morant eyes behind his head.39:20but the spin, when he made the spin.39:22That was the big topic during that last timeout.39:24Taylor Jenkins lauding the guys for the great job39:26that they've been doing on the boards39:28and said that's going to be key for the rest of the night39:30with our ability to get out and run.39:31Like this opportunity here for the Grizzlies.39:33They have five fast break points already.39:35That's how Domo got himself caught in the air.39:37And now it's just throw the ball anywhere.39:39Morant's able to just track it down39:41and just all in one get it up to the rim.39:44Feels the contact.39:46Look at this.39:46Gets it up to the rim.39:47Roll action.39:48and allow Morant to create opportunities.39:51Against Pirtle!39:53Ho ho!39:55Send it in, John Brown, against Jakob Pirtle.39:58Not again, Mr. Pirtle.40:00Not again!40:02Oh!40:03Sometimes I might not be able to get all the way, but I can throw it through!40:07As Morant breaks another highlight!40:10And Pertl on another poster!40:14Wow!40:15Making his presence felt here on both his defensive and the offensive40:18and knocking down multiple threes this first half.40:21Morant behind the back, another Aldama three, another make for Santi!40:26And as Morant gets to the basket, and then just behind the back and Santi shooting with confidence.40:33Look at that degree of difficulty.40:35And the thing about it is, it was a perfect pass.40:38Look at this.40:38Yeah, it's right on the money.40:39This is in the shooting pocket.40:39Yep.40:40And Santi loves to.40:41A two-point lead.40:42There you go, JJ.40:43Into the backcourt for John.40:45Ten seconds to go.40:47Morant, the crossover.40:49The dish.40:50And Clark, the flush to tie it.40:53We've seen some great execution for both these teams.40:56So they get Ja Morant in the backcourt.40:58They spread the floor.40:59That allows Ja to get ahead of steam.41:02And once he gets that secondary defender and help,41:05he finds Brandon Clark.41:06And as you said, Ryan, the chemistry, the timing between these two guys.41:11Nildel Dama and Morant.41:14Conchar, Bain.41:17Morant will take it.41:18Oh, that one shot.41:20Oh, my.41:21Hold on to your hats.41:22And landed on that shoulder.41:24Watch this.41:24In flight over the reach of Wade. Oh my goodness. Falling one way through in the other.41:32But the Grizzlies need him on the floor. He's doing the best he can though, partner.41:36Morant drives, hangs, banks and hits.41:44Grizzlies trying to flip the script here in the fourth.41:48They lead it by five.41:50I used a rim to be able to get that finish.41:52Edwards fade away spoons out tap rebound go bear lost it. Here's a run out by conchard42:05Throw it up anywhere.
