As reported earlier, Morant’s dad Tee Morant and friend Davonte Pack seemed to have a role in the altercation, with Pack actually escorted off the arena. Apparently, Pacers coaches complained about Tee and Davonte since they kept talking to the players.</p><p>In his postgame presser, Morant <a href="https://twitter.com/DrewHill_DM/status/1619893370603859969" rel="noopener">shared</a> his side of the story. He revealed that he’s simply coming to the defense of his father after he heard Nembhard tell him to “shut up.”</p><p>“Their guys, they were talking early. Then when I went over there Andrew (Nembhard) was telling my pops to shut up,” Morant detailed, per Drew Hill of the Daily Memphian. “And then, pretty much, I heard my Pop ask him if he said, ‘Shut up.’ I was trying to figure out who he was talking to, and it was him, so I approached him. I was seeing what he was on. I checked his temperature. He didn’t have a fever.</p><p>“Then (Pacers guard Chris Duarte) came over. He tried to push me trying to break it up and I told him to stop pushing me. He said he was cooling, then his teammates came over and he started talking. They kicked my brother (Pack) out. We got the dub. They kicked him out of the Forum, too. He’s my twin.”</p><p>Now what’s unclear here is who actually started talking to whom. If it was Tee Morant and Davante Pack who engaged and tried to talk trash to the Pacers, then that’s enough reason for Andrew Nembhard and the Indiana team to respond. As Ja said, Nembhard did tell Tee to shut up, so the Morant patriarch probably said something to him.</p><p>However, if it’s the Pacers who started it, then it’s definitely unfair for Morant’s friend to be ejected.</p><p>For what it’s worth, though, the Grizzlies and Tee Morant are starting to develop a reputation for engaging in such <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/grizzlies-news-ja-morant-dad-shannon-sharpe-separated-after-heated-exchange-in-lakers-game" rel="noopener">verbal altercations</a>. With that said, Memphis definitely needs to do something to avoid such distractions.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Draining the buzzer is one thing, but recording a near triple-double of 31 points, eight rebounds and 13 assists is on a whole another level.

They kept fighting. They kept pushing.'”</p><p>The Pacers were down by two points with under three seconds left and looked as though they were on their way to picking up another loss after a missed 3-point attempt from Myles Turner. But Haliburton found the ball and zipped a pass to an open Nembhard that was able to get off the shot as LeBron tried to bother him.</p><p>“NBA players, they make shots like that,” James added. “So give him credit.”</p><p>Nembhard was at the right place and at the right moment, and he was also perhaps the best Pacers player to take that shot, as he finished the game hitting four of seven attempts from behind the arc on his way to a 12-point outing.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
