Despite the heated exchange, the Grizzlies delivered an outstanding second-half performance, outscoring the Jazz 86-38 and securing a dominant 140-103 victory.
The spark for this turnaround may have come when Bane shoved Aldama during the timeout, apparently not happy about his play on defense, shouting, "Get a fu**ing stop!"
With this win, the Grizzlies climbed to the fourth seed in the Western Conference with a 44-28 record and 10 games remaining in the regular season. Their next two matchups will be against top Western Conference contenders—they will visit the Oklahoma City Thunder before hosting the Los Angeles Lakers.
