Ja Morant finds NBA rules loophole as Memphis Grizzlies thrash Charlotte Hornets

Holding a 29-point lead wasn't enough during the third quarter for Memphis Grizzlies star Ja Morant, who decided to really toy with the Charlotte Hornets on Wednesday night.

The Grizzlies thrashed the Hornets 131-107 as Morant starred again, but perhaps his best play of the night occurred without even touching the ball. Morant recorded 23 points against the Hornets, as they moved 24-13 for the season.

It wasn't a great night for the Hornets, and with a 10-29 record, it hasn't really been their season either. But Morant really rubbed salt into their wounds by eating up 27 seconds of time through a clever loophole.
