The Grizzlies were led by star point guard Ja Morant, who posted a strong double-double with 21 points and 12 assists, shooting an efficient 9-13 from the field. Morant posted a team-high +22, being a true difference-maker in the competitive divisional matchup.

Ja Morant may have had the dunk of the year after posterizing Victor Wembanyama, but the Grizzlies star's epic highlight did not count.

Victor Wembanyama may be the single most imposing rim protector in NBA history. He's only in his second season, but his combination of elite athleticism for his size, stellar shot-blocking instincts and absurd eight-foot wingspan makes him a nearly impenetrable obstacle for drivers at the basket.

But neither Morant nor Wembanyama stopped. Morant kept charging right for the rim, where he ran into the 7-foot-3 star. Expertly, Morant rose up and threw down a wild one-handed dunk over an outstretched Wembanyama, which sent the Grizzlies bench into a tailspin.

Ja Morant is back doing Ja Morant things. He connected on one of his signature ferocious slam dunks, this time over the 7' 3" phenom Victor Wembanyama. However, the dunk went down after the whistle and didn't actually count.
