The Grizzlies delivered a 131-110 beatdown to hand the Warriors their eighth straight road loss in what was another chippy meeting between these two teams.
Ja Morant remains away from the Grizzlies as the NBA investigates an incident where he flashed what appeared to be a handgun on Instagram Live at a Denver-area nightclub. Without their flashy star guard, the Grizzlies got contributions from up-and-down its roster, with six players finishing in double figure scoring. Tyus Jones led Memphis with 22 points and 11 assists.
Golden State started to come back to life in the second quarter, stringing together a 19-5 run to come within six with 7:01 left in the half. At one point in the meltdown, Dillon Brooks picked off a lazy Warriors’ inbound pass and turned it into a layup. He then taunted Green, going face-to-face with the Warriors star. But Green, who is one technical foul away from a suspension, kept his cool.The Warriors clawed back in the third but could never take control of the game. They were within six at the start of the fourth, but Memphis took it from there.
Brooks added fuel to the fire ahead of Thursday night’s game, telling ESPN he doesn’t like the Warriors and he specifically ripped Green because “Draymond talks a lot. Gets away with a lot, too.”
