Devin Booker: Hand-catching extraordinaire

Late in the fourth quarter of a Wednesday night Western Conference matchup between the Memphis Grizzlies and the Phoenix Suns, Troy Daniels sank his fourth 3-pointer. He was fouled in the process, sparking a reminder form Daniels that the Grindhouse is, in fact, his house.

As you can see, words led to shoving, bringing players from both benches to the half-court circle to break up the scuffle. Tyler Ulis stepped between Devin Booker to save him, and Brandan Wright hugged a grown man for the duration of the tussle:

Phoenix’s Alex Len and Tyler Ulis would be ejected from the game along with Memphis’s Troy Daniels. The Grizzlies went on to a 119-99 victory, extending their win streak to three games.

This is where things go (slightly) downhill.
