Scotty Pippen Jr. Calls Out Myron Gardner for 'Cheap Shot' After Draining Shot

  • On Feb. 21, Scotty Pippen Jr., Memphis Grizzlies guard, and Myron Gardner, Miami Heat guard, were ejected with 1:55 left as the Heat closed out a 136-120 win at Kaseya Center.
  • Earlier in the sequence, Pippen made an open three with 1:59 left in the fourth quarter before Gardner ran into him from behind as the shot dropped after a rebound battle.
  • Pippen rushed up the court and shoved Gardner into the front row of the crowd, then the players fell as teammates and staff separated them.
  • Pippen said, `I thought it was kind of a cheap shot,` and finished with 18 points and six assists while Gardner had five points and three rebounds.
  • Tempers flared late in Saturday's game at Kaseya Center, Miami, as online clips and social posts circulated showing the rebound, three, and hit sequence.
