VIDEO: Ja Morant Almost Ended Draymond Green on This Play
The Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors battled it out on Friday night in what was an entertaining basketball game. While we're usually not one to show you missed shots, this instance he's a pass as Ja Morant almost threw it down on Draymond Green's head in a spectacular display of athleticism.
The play happened in the second quarter with the Grizzlies down 13 and looking for a spark before halftime. Morant drove the lane and we all know Draymond can't get up.....

As for the rest of the game itself:
Andrew Wiggins scored a season-high 40 points, Jordan Poole added 25 while starting in place of injured Stephen Curry, and the short-handed Golden State Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies 116-103 on Friday night in the first of back-to-back meetings between the teams.
Damion Lee had 21 points, also a season best, as the Warriors won their third in the last four games despite missing several key players. Draymond Green was 0 for 6 from the field and scored only two points but grabbed 11 rebounds and handed out 13 assists.
Ja Morant and Grayson Allen had 14 points each to lead Memphis, and Brandon Clarke scored 13. Jonas Valanciunas added 10 points and 16 rebounds.
The Warriors were without Curry, who bruised his tailbone in Wednesday’s victory over Houston. Meanwhile, rookie center James Wiseman and Eric Paschall both were unavailable under the NBA's health and safety protocol. That was three of the team’s top five scorers on the sideline.
