Bane was 11 of 26 from the field and 5 of 12 from 3-point range, while Morant shot 7 of 15. Memphis was still relishing in Morant's return Tuesday night in New Orleans when he scored 34 points and made the winning, spinning layup as time expired. He was suspended by the NBA for waving a gun at least twice on social media. Obi Toppin led Indiana with 22 points.
