Donovan Mitchell, Dillon Brooks get into heated altercation

Donovan Mitchell and Dillon Brooks got into it midway through the third quarter of the Cleveland Cavaliers-Memphis Grizzlies clash on Thursday night.

Brooks drove against Mitchell and failed to convert. The two got entangled as they tried to get off the floor and Brooks gave Mitchell a rather healthy shot to the groin. That led to the Cavs guard chucking the ball at the Grizzlies wing. Tempers flared after that. 

Dillon Brooks was assessed a flagrant foul for his shot at Donovan Mitchell while the Cavs star was slapped with a technical foul. Thankfully, the situation was diffused early enough without either side escalating the situation even further.
