The difficulty with answering this question is that we have no outside sources from the Gospels themselves pertaining to this story. What further frustrates the matter is that Matthew and Luke don't necessarily provide alternate accounts of the event, seeing as how most scholars agree that they used Mark as the basis for their narrative.

If you accept the narrative that the chief priests and scribes influenced Pilate to condemn Jesus to death, then Mark 11:18 corroborates the idea that Jesus' cleansing of the temple contributed to his arrest and execution.

In short, if the biblical text is reliable, then your answer is yes. Aside from that we don't have any outside accounts which weigh in on this story.*

*which doesn't mean it didn't happen. In reconstructing the "historical" Jesus from the canonical and non-canonical Gospels the cleansing of the temple, along with Jesus' baptism and crucifixion, is considered one of the most likely events to have occurred.
