MEMPHIS – The baseline drive, reverse dunk and icy stare-down set it off.
On the way to arguably the Grizzlies’ most improbable victory of the season, rookie Santi Aldama pump-faked Suns defender Jae Crowder into the air at the 3-point line, drove past Phoenix center Deandre Ayton along the baseline and slammed in a reverse dunk.
As he descended from the air, Aldama calmly stared across the way toward the Grizzlies bench that night in April.
