A brawl broke out between Donovan Mitchell and Desmond Bain during Sunday’s Memphis Grizzlies Clebrand Cavaliers game.
Midway through the third quarter, Mitchell lost his balance in basketball and was driving in basketball when he fell to the ground. As he tried to maintain his basketball ownership, Bane came in to grab the ball and grab it.
When Bane and Mitchell fought for ownership, the Cavaliers called timeouts and took a narrow 74-71 lead with 7:28 left in the quarter. Even after the timeout was called, Bane and Mitchell were seen doing it on the ground while their teammates were trying to keep them away from each other.
