The Memphis Grizzlies were merely playing for pride on Monday night after getting trounced early on by the Los Angeles Clippers. Well, still mired in the deficit in the third quarter, Ja Morant tried to stir up some offense, and it seems like he caught Kawhi Leonard off guard. The rookie had Leonard wobbling after out some nasty dribble moves before attacking the basket and finishing amid contact at the rim.

Morant just put one of the game's best defenders on skates, and even though the Grizzlies will be leaving Staples Center with a loss, he can take solace in the fact that he made a former Defensive Player of the Year look silly.
