Tue Jan 28 03:10:00 UTC 2025: ## Grizzlies’ Kennard Steals the Show with Rare Slam Dunk in Victory Over Hornets
**MEMPHIS, TN** – Memphis Grizzlies sharpshooter Luke Kennard put on a three-point shooting clinic against the Charlotte Hornets Wednesday night at FedExForum, hitting seven triples. However, it was a highlight-reel play far from the three-point arc that stole the post-game spotlight: Kennard’s first slam dunk in five years.
The dunk, his eighth career slam, punctuated a steal and electrifying transition play. “That was eight years ago, which is crazy. But I still got it,” Kennard joked after the game. Teammate Ja Morant, jokingly relinquishing his “dunk crown,” praised the play as “perfect. Textbook. Two points.”
Kennard’s performance helped secure a Grizzlies victory, extending their winning streak. The Grizzlies look to continue their momentum when they face the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday.
