The Memphis Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks made quite the statement during Saturday night’s game against the Golden State Warriors. Despite Golden State being a formidable opponent, Brooks scored an impressive 18 points on 7-of-10 shooting, leading his team to a 113-119 victory.
Notably, this marks the second win for Memphis over the Warriors this month, both of which came after Draymond Green’s “clown” comments about Dillon Brooks on his podcast.
Dillon Brooks’ performance on the court was matched by his unapologetic comments off the court. He called out Klay Thompson and Draymond Green after the game, claiming that the Warriors were an easy team to get up for. He even suggested that Green and Thompson’s trash talk had helped him get ready for the game. “Is this one of those teams that’s easy to get up for and easy to get refreshed for?” Brooks asked. “Oh yeah. They got Draymond talking, they got Klay talking. So it’s easy to get ready for this game. I was ready. I only got 4 hours of sleep.“
The Warriors, on the other hand, have struggled to perform at their best during away games all season long, and their road trip on Saturday was no exception.

Grizzlies Beat Struggling Warriors: Brooks’ Performance and Comments Draw Attention
The loss to the Grizzlies was their third consecutive loss on the road, and it’s clear that they have a lot of work to do if they want to improve. Even Thompson, who is a critical player for the Warriors, struggled during the game, shooting only 6-of-17 from the floor and 2-of-9 from beyond the three-point arc, ending the night with 14 points, one rebound, and one block.
The Golden State Warriors have been struggling recently. They have dealt with their fair share of injuries, most notably with star guard Stephen Curry being sidelined for 26 games. Another prime reason that the Warriors have fallen short of the preseason expectations of many, has been the inconsistent play of Jordan Poole. The Warriors have failed to play up to par on the road and have slid in the standings.
The rest of the NBA is catching up, with Phoenix building on their lead at the top and the Memphis Grizzlies soaring to claim the second seed from Golden State. The future of the franchise is also a problem as the downside of the Warriors’ ‘two timeline strategy is showing itself in Golden State’s bench struggles.
Brooks’ performance and comments have placed him in the spotlight, prompting debate over whether his antics were necessary or not. Some may see it as a strategic move to get under the Warriors’ skin, while others may argue that it was just obnoxious behavior. Regardless of opinions, the Grizzlies’ victory over the struggling Warriors was a noteworthy one, and it will be interesting to see how the two teams perform in future matchups.
