Ja Morant threw a successful lob in the triple team and while sitting

Ja Morant was sensational on Thursday night against the Milwaukee Bucks, finishing the game with 26 points, 14 assists and 10 rebounds in a blowout win. The Memphis Grizzlies star shot the ball efficiently and completely controlled the game with his style of play.

As always, his individual highlights were even more impressive than the actual results. Several of his assists were absolutely beautiful passes. One of which we might never have seen before.

Midway through the second quarter, Morant drove into the lane and attempted to throw a pass to Jake LaRavia, but the ball was batted away by Bobby Portis. Morant threw himself to the ground to pass the ball to Portis and Damian Lillard and sat up. With the Bucks not retaining him, he weighed his options and looked for an open teammate.

Then, from the seat of his pants, as the shot clock ticked down, he saw Santi Almeda head toward the basket and throw it up toward the rim. Almeda caught it for a reverse dunk.

If you’re impressed, you’re not alone. Even Morant was amused by the play when asked about it after the game.

Here’s the rest of his highlight reel from the triple-double.
