The Indiana Pacers bench played well but they had little hope without Tyrese Haliburton and Myles Turner.

Morant made a case for the dunker of the year candidate, as he posterised Jalen Smith in the 3rd quarter. The jaw-dropping play left fans standing long after. This play will likely end up on NBA Top Shot, where you can own this particular moment later when they release it on the platform.
