That being said, the Grizzlies were casually toying with the Hornets the entire game. However, the most disrespectful moment of the game came with just 3 minutes and 40 seconds left in the third quarter.
Ja Morant left an inbound pass untouched for over 20 seconds while Charlotte players waited helplessly. This was the most difficult thing to watch in the entire game. Seeing a team schooled and humiliated in this manner can be difficult. Fans were also divided by the move.
