The Memphis Grizzlies hosted the Phoenix Suns on Tuesday night. The Grizzlies entered Tuesday night’s action in 6th place in the Western Conference with a record of 35-25, while their opponents entered the game dead last in the Western Conference with an 18-41 record.
While the Grizzlies are looking to move up the standings in attempt to get home court advantage in the playoffs, the lowly Suns are just looking to play spoiler at this point in the season and will do whatever it takes to make that happen.
Early in the game, 40-year-old Vince Carter was driving to the basket in hopes of cutting down the Suns’ early lead. On his way there, Carter was shoved by 20-year-old Devin Booker and the veteran did not appreciate it one bit. In return, Carter fired back with a shot of his own.
The youngster did a very good job selling the elbow from Carter, as he was all smiles after the incident. However, the referees weren’t having any of it and decided to eject Carter from the game. As for the eight-time NBA All-Star, he's showing the rest of the league he still has some fight left in him.
