Grade: A We reach our third and final bright spot in this game: Poole’s excellence, Iguodala’s return, and Moody’s strong play. Nothing of note from Lee in this game. One of the few silver linings in this game was Iguodala’s return to action. Despite Memphis knowing that JP would be the primary offensive option, Poole managed to score efficiently on his way to a 14th-straight game with 20 or more points. Grade: A We saw some growth with regards to playmaking and defense in this contest, but most impressive was Kuminga playing a full 35 minutes without fouling. That said, he was far from the biggest problem in this game for the Warriors. You probably shouldn’t waste any more time reading about the game, but I have a job to do. You can’t get those hours back, and for that I apologize. You probably even predicted it. The Golden State Warriors lost to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night.
