Naz Reid was subjected to a heckler during Monday's game between the Minnesota Timberwolves and Memphis Grizzlies, and the antagonist claims Reid threatened to "smack" him.
Naz Reid clapped back at a heckling fan, saying, "I'll smack the sh*t outta you," during the Timberwolves' loss to the Grizzlies.
The Grizzlies already have one closer in superstar Ja Morant, but Jaren Jackson Jr. is proving to be another clutch-time piece.
It was like deja vu on Monday with a similar ending and a similar final shot as the last matchup between the two teams.

Minnesota Timberwolves coach Chris Finch is asking for more production from center Rudy Gobert ahead of the team's matchup against the host Dallas Mavericks on Wednesday.
Timberwolves coach Chris Finch wanted Edwards to catch the ball in the backcourt, giving him more of a running start toward the rim after he had taken 18 free throws in a rugged afternoon in FedExForum. But that was far too easy for the Grizzlies to cut off, which has been the problem for the Wolves this season.
And those situations are developing a theme. Anthony Edwards was a clutch-time hero for the Wolves in the early stages of the campaign. His tough shots carried the Wolves to a few remarkable victories. But that well has largely run dry, as evidenced by the air ball he threw up over multiple Grizzlies defenders at the horn in Memphis.
