JA Morant led the Grizzlies to a win in Game 2 against the Dub nation. JA and his young crew made it pretty clear to the 3-time champions that they were not going to be easy to pass.  For us fans, with the series tied at 1-1, it means more drama and action.

A few minutes into the game, Dillion Brooks was ejected from the game for a flagrant 2 foul on Gary Payton II that caused the Warriors guard a fractured elbow. Draymond Green too took a elbow early in the game near the eye that resulted in him missing the rest of the first quarter. He later returned in the second quarter after receiving stitches on the wound. Ja Morant too faced an elbow to the eye, in the second half, that caused a partial loss of vision in his second eye.

Along with the this, the Warriors’ splash brother failed to find their game. The pernicious 3-pointers of the Warriors was a horrid 18.4%. To add to the misery of the Warriors, Ja dropped 47 points and several clutch plays in the 4th quarter to carry his team to the win.

The last few years have been tough for Klay Thompson. He had to sit out for 2 seasons after serious injuries. In the 2021-22 season, Klay made his return to the court. Despite his presence Klay failed to have the impact that he did before the injuries. Klay in the later part of the season did find his rhythm and continued it on to have big plays in the 1st round of playoffs. But in the 2nd round, Klay was seen struggling with his lethal 3 point ball. It is not the sight to be expected from the 5-time All-Star and a Top 5 greatest shooter.

Stephen Curry too has been seen struggling with the 3 point ball ever since he passes Ray Allen to become the all time 3 point scorer leader. Combining the above mentioned factors with the injuries, Warriors failed to secure a win in Game 2 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

After the game, Stephen A Smith had quite the words of motivation for Klay Thompson. Smith has expressed his love and support for the splash brothers, and it is quite evident that he was upset after the performance in Game 2.

With the series tied at 1-1 and the next 2 games lined up to be held in the Warriors ground, Chase Center, one can expect quite the explosion from the Warriors roster, especially the splash brothers.
