On Saturday, Ja Morant's full extension poster against Indiana got a lot of attention from all over the NBA.
Once Ja Morant's amazing, above-the-box chasedown block on Bennedict Mathurin was ruled legal, it gave the NBA night an all-time highlight.

When the bomb went off, NBA Twitter went crazy. Here are some of the responses:
