Desmond Bane has proved to be one of the most key pieces to the Memphis Grizzlies this season. He is one of the biggest reasons the Grizzlies have the 4th best record in the West and 5th best in the entire league. He also carried the team in Ja Morant’s short absence earlier this season. Today, Desmond Bane had possibly the offensive highlight of his career by breaking Steph Curry’s ankles.

From there on, it was a close contest till the very end with the Grizzlies leading for a majority of the time.

This took the Grizzlies score to 116-108 with 28 seconds remaining. The Warriors’ fans didn’t get the miracle they were longing for after being down by eight so late in the game.

Desmond Bane puts Stephen Curry on skates

During the 2nd quarter of the game, Desmond Bane put Stephen Curry on skates as he tumbled due to one of Banes’s dribble moves. The Grizzlies were leading 56-46 when Bane got the ball. He tried to drive to the rim as Curry tried to defend him. But Bane stopped which caught Curry off-guard and he lost his balance.

Desmond Bane then took a smooth double step-back to launch a three and ended up swishing it for a perfect fairy tale ending. Steph Curry is usually the one who is breaking ankles with his dribble and crossover moves. In this game, however, Curry got a taste of his own medicine. Twitter users were not behind in expressing themselves after this incident.
