The Grizzlies halted a four-game losing skid after Ja Morant’s buzzer-beater secured a 110-108 road victory against the Miami Heat.

Morant finished with 30 points, 27 of them coming in the second half, to give Memphis a win which leaves them in sixth place in the West with a 45-32 record.

Morant said his flurry of second-half points had been fired by a hostile Miami crowd who booed him throughout.

“The crowd booing me — they just woke me up for the second half,” Morant said. “It feels good to get back in the win column, we’ve just got to keep it rolling.”
