Yes Morant’s dunk on Victor Wembanyama was epic but didn’t count

San Antonio Spurs superstar Victor Wembanyama was the recipient of the vicious one-handed dunk late in the fourth quarter vs Memphis Grizzlies and for two seconds Malik Beasley and Jakob Poeltl got off the hook after they had been posted earlier by Morant.

Morant went to the left baseline with the ball and was clearly fouled, prompting a whistle, but still went to the rim where 7-3 Wembanyama waited patiently for his baptism.

“I dunked on a lot of people, bro, he didn’t get a pass. If you know the rim, I’m going to try you if it’s that situation,” said Morant, who had 21 points and 12 assists in the game. 129-115 win.
