Dillon Brooks faces 1-game suspension after taunting Mavs bench
MEMPHIS -- For the second time this month, Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks was given an automatic one-game suspension due to his technical fouls total for the season.
In yet another eventful performance for the pesky defender known as Dillon "The Villain," Brooks picked up his 18th technical foul of the season for taunting the Dallas bench during the Grizzlies' 112-108 win Monday night.
In particular, Brooks taunted vocal Mavs reserve forward Theo Pinson after dunking in traffic with 7:31 remaining in the third quarter. Brooks pantomimed waving pom-poms, insinuating that Pinson earned paychecks as a cheerleader, not a player.
