Ja Morant escaped the defense of Jeremiah Fears and then ran out the clock while playfully pointing at him during Grizzlies vs. Pelicans.

Ja Morant scored 35 points, including a key basket with 32.9 seconds to play, and the Memphis Grizzlies beat the New Orleans Pelicans 128-122 in the season opener for both teams.

Memphis Grizzlies starters Ja Morant and Kentavious Caldwell-Pope are questionable to play on Friday against the Miami Heat.

Few point guards lift their teammates like Morant, a pick-and-roll maestro who is back in business. Plays like this, when he acts as if any of his teammates are physically capable of his own superhuman feats, are often a signal he’s in his comfort zone.
