The Memphis Grizzlies' victory over the Utah Jazz didn't come on their bench, even without some fireworks on Tuesday night.
It was a 140-103 defeat by Memphis, but frustration didn't simmer at the point where two teammates had to be separated.
Desmond Bain seemed to press Santi Aldama during the timeout and shouted at him to “get f—stop.”

Aldama was pushed into the bystander's chair and quickly rose to approach Bane, but his teammates separated the two before the situation escalated.
Perhaps the Grizzlies had internal tension after losing each of their previous games, but it might be fair to say that this brawl set fire to the team.
Memphis chased Utah 61-47 at one point, but ended the game with a 93-42 run. They outperformed the Jazz 76-38 and surpassed 33-8 in the second half.

Memphis is currently sitting fourth in the Western Conference, so Bane dropped 21 points in the victory.
Aside from the slow start, it was an impressive show by Grizzlies, where Ja Morant had no star players.
The Grizzlies have had flounder since they came close to the top of the rankings early in the season. When the injury hits, it's especially Morant's taste, now the hamstring tension – Memphis has dropped out of most championship competitors' conversations.

The Jazz was hot beyond the first half arc, hitting 13 of their first 19 attempts, but when three seconds stopped decreasing, they were unhappy with effort and production.
