MEMPHIS -- Ja Morant added a couple of high-flying clips to his extensive highlight reel in the first half of Wednesday's Game 5 in the first-round series between the Los Angeles Lakers and Memphis Grizzlies.

The point guard went way up and over Lakers star LeBron James to catch a lob and lay the ball in, but he was unable to get all the way to the rim for a dunk.

The highlights didn't stop there.

Also in the first half, Morant rattled the rim a bit later, soaring in traffic for a putback dunk. Morant had followed a Desmond Bane miss to slam it in over Lakers big man Anthony Davis.
