Clay: Trash talking is part of competition as long as you don t cross the line and say something personally offensive.

In the NBA regular season, the Mavericks lost to the Grizzlies 96-102.

After the game, Clay accepted an interview with reporters. Talking about the trash talk on both sides during the game, he said: "I think it's great. Sometimes it's fun to liven up the atmosphere and feel that adrenaline rush. Sometimes I can't control myself. I'm a very competitive person and I think everyone in the locker room is. That's it. This is basketball, this is what we do. As long as you don't cross the line and say something personal, it's part of the game when you talk about the other person's game." What Morant said to Clay was: You are a waste now...

In this campaign, Clay played 27 minutes and 41 seconds, making 7 of 17 shots (6 of 12 three-pointers), 2 of 2 free throws, 22 points, 1 rebound, 1 turnover, and a plus-minus value of +2.
