Ja Morant was out of his mind tonight, and the Spurs never stood a chance. Morant went off for a career-high 52 points and seven rebounds on 22-30 shooting including 4-4 from beyond the arc.
His blinding performance was full of highlight plays, including a super deep three, a dunk of the year contender and an impossible buzzer beater.
Here are the best reactions from around the Twittersphere:
JA going stupid right now🔥

I sure hope Nike designers are somewhere in Beaverton concocting the Ja Morant signature shoe because it’ll sell. Big time. The streets are going to need it sooner than later.

I drove 6+ hours to see Ja Morant play this season— I even went the wrong way for a while— and it was totally worth it.

Every Grizzlies game should be nationally televised. Ja Morant is that good. Students should have to stand and put their hands over their hearts while watching Ja highlights every day at school

If Ja Morant isn’t the MVP he’s for sure the “that boy nice” lifetime achievement award winner
