Grizzlies Overpower Spurs as Ja Morant's Dunk on Wembanyama Goes Viral

Memphis secures a 129-115 victory over San Antonio, despite Wembanyama's defensive brilliance in the first half.

The Memphis Grizzlies defeated the San Antonio Spurs 129-115, solidifying their position as third in the Western Conference standings.
Victor Wembanyama recorded an impressive eight blocks in the first half, but his offensive struggles (13 points on 5-of-19 shooting) and a quiet second half contributed to the Spurs' loss.
Ja Morant delivered a spectacular dunk over Wembanyama in the fourth quarter, though the play was nullified due to a prior foul, generating significant attention on social media.
Memphis dominated the second half, outscoring San Antonio 78-52, and adapted to Wembanyama's defensive presence by increasing their efficiency from long range.
This loss drops the Spurs to 12th in the Western Conference, with a rematch against Memphis scheduled for Friday in San Antonio.
