Without injured Morant, the Grizzlies hand the Spurs their largest loss of the season, 140-112
Desmond Bane added 22 points and 14 assists, and Jaylen Wells had 22 points to help Memphis sweep the two-game set in Antonio, where the Grizzlies have won nine straight.
Devin Vassell led San Antonio with 21 points. Stephon Castle added 20, and Victor Wembanyama had 19 points and 12 rebounds.
Morant was sidelined because of a sore right foot. He's ineligible for selection to the All-NBA teams, MVP and other awards after missing his 18th game of the season and cannot meet the league requirement of 65 games.
Morant had 21 points and 12 assists in leading the Grizzlies to a 129-115 victory over the Spurs on Wednesday night.
Memphis dominated the third quarter just as it did Wednesday. The Grizzlies outscored the Spurs 40-22 in the third quarter Friday, closing the period on an 18-2 run.
Spurs: Chris Paul missed a free throw for the second time this season, failing to convert a technical foul with 8:23 remaining in the third quarter. Paul is 58 for 60.
