In the fourth quarter, with 4:55 left on the clock, Morant drove right at Utah Jazz forward Kevin Love, who attempted to take a charge. Morant jumped right at him, trying to dunk the ball, but hit the rim instead, bouncing the ball back out to teammate Jock Landale, who proceeded to knock down a three.

This kind of audacious play is exactly what Morant has been known for, and despite coming back from injury, the guard seems unafraid of leaning into the contact and going hard at his opponents, something that has to be reassuring given his shooting struggles this year.
