The “Whoop That Trick” chant/song has gradually become a staple of Memphis sports, with the Grizzlies typically playing the song in the closing seconds of home victories and the crowd reacting like maniacs and happily taking part in the chant.
During the Grizzlies’ 144-93 dismantling of the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night, fans were treated to their favorite song a bit earlier than they had grown accustomed to.
The team’s arena DJ put on “Whoop That Trick” about halfway through the fourth quarter in the blowout win over the Warriors in a classic case of trolling.
Well, well, well would you look at that.

With the team up around 50 points throughout the fourth quarter, there was no chance of a jinx happening, so the DJ decided to pull the trigger early before many fans left the arena.
The 51-point win represents the team’s largest victory ever over the Warriors and hopefully kicked off a new winning streak after the Los Angeles Lakers ended their 4-game streak on Sunday.
The Warriors have now surrendered 143 and 144 points in consecutive games and have lost nine of their last 11 games to fall to 14-12 after an exciting 12-3 start to the season.
The Warriors beat Memphis on November 15th, so this blowout evened the season series and the two teams will meet again in a couple of weeks where the Warriors will look to avenge this embarrassing performance.
The Grizzlies are sitting comfortably with the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference and are looking revitalized so far now that the team is healthy and ready to put last year behind them.
Fans should expect to hear “Whoop That Trick” quite a few more times this year as long as the good health remains.
