The Memphis Grizzlies and Miami Heat faced off in a dramatic Thursday night showdown, and Ja Morant’s game-winning shot sent NBA fans into a frenzy. Morant’s late-game heroics weren’t the only thing making social media buzz, which was a surprising twist. The unexpected spotlight was stolen online by Abella Danger, an adult film star from Miami who was sitting courtside at the game.

Morant calmly dribbled down the court and hit a high-arching mid-range jumper past two defenders with seconds left as the Heat tried to close things out at home. The shot secured the Grizzlies’ hard-fought win, and Morant’s performance reminded fans why he is one of the league’s most electrifying young stars. The highlight immediately made its rounds across the NBA on TNT, ESPN, NBA Twitter, and sports pages everywhere. But what came next was even more viral.
