Grizzlies' Ja Morant runs into technical trouble after hitting Lakers' LeBron James

A sequence between Ja Morant and LeBron James in the second quarter resulted in the Grizzlies point guard shoving James in the back and committing a technical foul.

Morant drove to the basket and scored over Lakers guard Gabe Vincent before lowering his hand to the floor and signaling the “too small” gesture.

James later returned the favor. While isolated against Morant, James lowered his shoulder into the Grizzlies' smaller guard and scored over him, making the same gesture.

When he got back to his feet, Morant laughed before throwing the ball up and scoring against the Lakers. After the basket, Morant ran toward James and pushed him in the back just enough for the referees to stop the action and call a technical foul.
