Ben Simmons was left fuming after Ja Morant baited him into fouling out as the Memphis Grizzlies defeated the Brooklyn Nets on Monday night.
During the critical final four minutes of the contest, Morant was able to get Simmons to foul out on a naive attempt to win possession of the ball. He was subsequently ejected as the Nets slipped to a 134-124 loss on the road.
With four minutes remaining, Morant let the ball roll up the court before picking it up and waiting for Simmons to make an attempt to steal. When the 26-year-old lunged at Morant and made contact, the whistle was blown and the Nets ace was sent packing.
