With less than 4 minutes to go in the fourth quarter, Brandon Clarke noticed the penalties and increased the Grizzlies’ lead to 7 points – 105: 98.
Then Tobias Harris only scored 6 points in a row and a minute and a half left the hosts’ lead to a minimum of 104: 105.
This episode was followed by a series of missed shots and mistakes. Dillon Brooks, Danny Green, Kyle Anderson missed their pitches. Ben Simmons made a mistake with 29.4 seconds to go, and Morant responded just seconds later.
