As the ball ripped through the net, Marc Gasol began to dance. Or was it more of a strut? He wiggled his arms as if he was performing the Bernie, puffing his chest and jutting his jaw as the Staples Center scoreboard announced the Grizzlies' 111–107 win over the Clippers. Gasol’s game-sealing, left corner three-pointer snapped the Clippers’ seven-game winning streak. Imitating MMA superstar Conor McGregor’s signature walk was more than appropriate for Gasol.
“I apologize… to absolutely nobody,” Gasol tweeted the morning after his game-winning splash.
The game-clincher was Gasol’s fourth triple on the evening, two more than he converted for the entire 2015–16 season.
