John Henson ejected for taunting after blocking Matt Barnes, then Barnes chases him down tunnel

League disciplinarian Kiki Vandeweghe is going to be busy watching film tonight. A suspension for Matt Barnes and maybe some other fines coming from this one.

The game was over, there were less than 10 seconds left and Milwaukee was ahead of short-handed Memphis by 10. The Grizzlies had the ball, but usually a player just dribbles it out, hands it to the referee, and starts getting ready to go to the club.

Matt Barnes, who had scored 18 first quarter points, decided he was going to take one last shot, drove into the lane and shot a little floater — and John Henson rejected it.

Then Henson mean mugged.

Henson was ejected for taunting. He was good with that, high-fiving fans and throwing his jersey to them as he left the arena.

An ejection was not enough for Barnes — he eventually chased Henson down the tunnel. Watch Grizzlies’ coach Dave Joerger try to hold Barnes and call security over before Barnes breaks free and goes running after Henson.

Barnes got all the way to the Bucks locker room but did not find Henson.

Barnes is going to get a multi-game suspension for this. Henson may be writing a check to the league. Ke
