The beef between Grizzlies swingman Dillon Brooks and the Warriors continued Saturday night, and this time Klay Thompson responded to Brooks’s trash talking with just his fingers. A lot has been said by Brooks in the media and on the court, and it appears Thompson wanted to remind the Grizzlies that they’re behind in the category that matters most.
While his team was getting blown out in the fourth quarter, Thompson appeared to be counting to four on the bench while looking at the Memphis bench—a clear reference to Golden State’s four NBA titles since 2015. It’s unclear if he was making the gesture toward anyone in particular, but Brooks had been yelling, “You suck,” at Warriors players from the bench, per Evan Barnes of the Memphis Commercial Appeal.
The Grizzlies went on to win, 133–119, and after the win at FedEx Forum in Memphis, Brooks and Thompson addressed the ongoing animosity between the teams.
