#NBATopShotThis: Ja Morant's showcase vertical in alley-oop slam
When Ja Morant is the game, there is no shortage of highlight plays as the reigning Rookie of the Year ensures there is at least one from each game.
In this one against the league-leading Utah Jazz, the second of two on consecutive nights, Morant is on the run on a fastbreak.
He dishes the rock out to his backcourt mate DeAnthony Melton, only to get it back and finish the alley-oop lob with a thunderous right slam.
