Talking about the home team, Grizzlies were led by JA Morant and Grayson Allen, both scored 14 points each. Having to play the Warriors yet again in their next match-up, Grizzlies were beaten in a completely one-sided contest.

Memphis’ offense was lackluster through the first half, shooting 42% and committing 10 turnovers. That kept the Grizzlies’ fast-pace offense in low gear, managing only two fast-break points before halftime. The ballhandling problems continued after the break, with Memphis committing seven more turnovers as Golden State maintained its 19-point advantage.

With the Western Conference getting ever so tight, this was a vital win for the Dubs without their marquee player Stephen Curry who injured his tail bone after falling on the iron steps while taking a shot against Houston Rockets.
