The Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies have announced their injury reports for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series on Saturday night in San ...

Devin Booker had 30 points in Game 2, and he spoke to the media postgame.CLICK HERE. This is the first time that the Warriors have been to the playoffs since the 2019 season, and they finished the regular season as the third seed in the Western Conference. The Warriors won the first game, and then the Grizzlies responded in the second game with a 106-101 win.

Kerr could just go back to his traditional lineup of center Kevon Looney being inserted back in to counter the Grizzlies' rebounding.

The other night I think he might have taken one three and maybe made one or two shots in the game and he was a plus-17. All season long, he has referred to Porter as the "Perfect Warrior" for all the little things he does that contribute to winning. He knows his player wants to see his shot swish through the nets, but also knows that isn't going to stop him from playing his game. In two games against the Grizzlies, he has gone 2-for-8 from the field and has missed both of his 3-pointers. Porter will continue to contribute to winning, and space the floor. He's sticking to his word that he won't let his shooting define him, good or bad. The Warriors went 5-10 in games Porter played after the All-Star break. His offensive rating fell to 113 and he had a true shooting percentage of 53.5. But unlocking one specific part of his game could give the Warriors a major edge: His shot. Through the Warriors' first seven playoff games, Porter is averaging 3.3 points per game while shooting 30 percent from the field and 13.3 percent from 3-point range. Kerr could just go back to his traditional lineup of center Kevon Looney being inserted back in to counter the Grizzlies' rebounding. He even played with the closing lineup in Game 5 of Golden State's win against the Denver Nuggets to send them home for good, playing almost the entire final frame.

ESPN analyst says Golden State's sharpshooter needs to show up in Game 3 in San Francisco against the Memphis Grizzlies.

He put up 15 more in Game 1 against the Grizzlies (6-for-19 from the field, 3-for-10 from three), and had just 12 in the May 3 loss on 5-for-19 shooting, including a hard-to-watch 2-for-12 from distance. I think everybody feels good about where Klay is." "Defensively after dealing with those injuries these last couple of years his wheels just aren't the same defensively," Rose said. Klay Thompson is shooting 29 percent from the field and 22 percent from three point range. Klay Thompson is at 13.5 points. "If Klay Thompson doesn’t show up, that does not help the Golden State Warriors," Smith said.

Klay Thompson hit an incredible three-pointer in Game 3 between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors.

Devin Booker had 30 points in Game 2, and he spoke to the media postgame.CLICK HERE. Prior to those two seasons without making the playoffs they had won three NBA Championships and made five straight NBA Finals. The Warriors are in the playoffs for the first time since the 2019 NBA season when they lost to the Toronto Raptors in the 2019 NBA Finals.

Prior to the start of the fourth quarter of the Golden State Warriors' Game 5 series-clinching win over the Denver Nuggets, Steve Kerr was asked by TNT's ...

Heading into a huge Game 3 on Saturday with the series tied 1-1, it'll be interesting whether Kerr might deviate from his typical pursuit of these organic, equal-opportunity outcomes and at least try to manipulate some more Morant matchups, particularly in the first half, if only to start the drain on his tank earlier. This distributes the burden relatively evenly on both sides, and while this approach surely helps Curry from running into the same predictable pitfalls of other heavy on-ball superstars, the rub is a player like Morant can also bask in the defensive breathers he's afforded, saving most of his energy to, well, score 47 points. Here he's assigned to Wiggins, who doesn't move out of the corner as the Warriors run multiple actions until, fittingly enough, Wiggins beats Morant to an offensive board. That leaves Jordan Poole uncovered, forcing Brandon Clarke to rotate up to him, which finally leaves Wiggins in the corner ready for a catch and shoot. Under normal circumstances, Morant would switch onto Curry, but because he doesn't want to do that, Curry is left wide open at the top of the key, at which point Tre Jones has to rotate over to him. It worked in Game 2, when Doncic scored 24 points in the first half (with a staggering 45 percent usage rate) but just 11 in the second half as Phoenix ran away late.

After a two-game homestand, the Memphis Grizzlies will be on the road. Point guard Ja Morant took over for Memphis, finishing with 47 points (a whopping 44% of their total) and eight assists along with eight boards. Point guard Stephen Curry has led the way so far for Golden State, as he has 23 points and five assists. Three quarters in and their offense has really been able to impose its will, dominating the Memphis Grizzlies 104-83.

The Sacramento Kings are reportedly interested in both ESPN broadcaster Mark Jackson and Warriors coach Mike Brown for their head coaching vacancy.

Jackson, of course, is a broadcaster at ESPN. Ranadive wasn't in San Francisco to scout his color commentating chops, but he could have been in the building to grab a few minutes with Jackson afterwards. It's unclear if Brown would even take the Kings job, given how many coaches they've cycled through in recent years. What's more interesting about Ranadive's latest Dubs appearance is that the Kings currently don't have a head coach, and as it happens, two reported candidates for the job ( Mark Jackson and Mike Brown) were in the building on Saturday night.

SAN FRANCISCO — The Warriors responded from a terrible shooting performance in Game 2 with one of their best in Game 3 Saturday night at Chase Center. An explosive third quarter, led by Stephen Curry, Jordan Poole and Klay Thompson, paved the way for ...

The only thing that got in Golden State’s way was themselves in the first half when they turned the ball over a whopping 14 times, off of which the Grizzlies scored 19 points. Porter has no issue with doing the dirty work for the Warriors. He finished with 13 points, four rebounds and three assists and boasted a plus-30 in 24 minutes. The Warriors opened the second half with a 18-6 run and ultimately outscored the Grizzlies 37-23. He was replaced by Otto Porter Jr. just past the midway point of the first quarter. Ja Morant was the Grizzlies’ lone lifeline in the third quarter, scoring 13 of Memphis’ 23 points. After shooting a dismal 18.4% from 3-point range in Tuesday night’s loss, the Warriors rediscovered their groove from deep.

The Golden State Warriors rolled their way to a 2-1 series lead over the Memphis Grizzlies Saturday night with a dominant 142-112 win at Chase Center.

His dribble penetration exposed Memphis which allowed Golden State to score 62 points in the paint. Coming off of an emotional game three days prior that saw the Warriors lose one of their premiere defensive players in Gary Payton II, Golden State was eager to get back on the hardwood. Sinking 4 of his 6 triples, Thompson dropped 21 points.

Thanks to committing just the three aforementioned turnovers in the second half, the Warriors got up 13 more shots than Memphis for the game. When you're ...

If all three of them have it going at the same time, the Warriors are going to kill teams. If he is, the Warriors have to continue to attack him on the defensive end, because they once again had no chance of stopping him on the offensive end in Game 3. Morant appeared to suffer a knee injury toward the end of the game. Thanks to committing just the three aforementioned turnovers in the second half, the Warriors got up 13 more shots than Memphis for the game. Using the threat of the 3 and their typically relentless movement, the Warriors attacked the paint, where they outscored Memphis 62-44. It added up to a 76.1 true-shooting percentage, the second-highest mark ever recorded for a single playoff game, trailing only the 77.8 TS% the Clippers put up against the Mavericks in 2020.

The Golden State Warriors got into the paint and basically got any shot they wanted in Game 3, which led to a 30-point win against the Grizzlies.

Meanwhile, the hot shooting from the Grizzlies to open the game masked that they were not consistently getting good looks, they just made tough shots. The game looked different right after the opening tip, when the Grizzlies jumped out to a quick 10-point lead shooting 6-of-8 from 3. The result was 62 points in the paint, and the Warriors having a 76.7 true shooting percentage when both teams emptied their bench for garbage time. There was no report on the condition of Morant’s knee after the game, he will be evaluated more on Sunday, but he left the arena without crutches or an apparent brace, but walking with a limp. He limped off the court in the middle of the fourth quarter after tweaking his knee against a Warriors double-team. That sequence summed up the night: The Warriors got the shots they wanted against far too little defensive resistance.

Steph Curry and Jordan Poole combined for 57 points in the Warriors' impressive Game 3 win over the Grizzlies.

This is the exact version of Klay the Warriors were looking for, and he returned for a huge Game 3 win. He didn't see the court once in the second quarter, and didn't return until the 5:09 mark in the third quarter. Those days looked long game with the Splash Brother back in The Bay. Porter wound up playing 24 minutes and scored 13 points while going 5-for-7 from the field and 3-for-5 from downtown. In one sequence, he blocked Morant, turned the ball over and then threw down a big dunk the next time the Warriors had the ball. The Warriors then turned the ball over just twice in the third quarter and led by 21 points going into the fourth quarter. Porter only had two games after the All-Star break where he made multiple 3-pointers. With Gary Payton II sidelined for the remainder of the second round and beyond, Steve Kerr needed to find a replacement for his starting lineup. The Grizzlies started the game on fire, with their first 18 points all coming from 3-pointers as the Warriors fell into an early hole. He made his first four shots and stuffed the stat sheet. Kuminga totaled 17 minutes, scored 18 points, went 8-for-10 from the field and nailed two 3-pointers. Here are three takeaways from the Warriors taking a two-games-to-one lead vs.

The Memphis Grizzlies got off to a hot start on the offensive end, specifically from beyond the arc, but they were unable to capitalize on an early lead and ...

Stephen Curry is having one of the quieter 25-point nights you'll ever see. It looks like Ja Morant is headed back to the locker room. That's a problem for a team like the Grizzlies that thrives in the frenetic chaos of transition, mismatch hunting and offensive rebounding. It was an occasional curveball, and one the Warriors most prominently used in the second quarter. If this is the version of Klay we get for the rest of the playoffs, the Warriors can absolutely win the championship. Without Gary Payton II in the lineup, the best hope they have is bothering him momentarily. That turned a seven-point lead—which came with plenty of Memphis momentum after Ja Morant sank a half-court shot to close the second quarter—into a 17-point gap that the Grizzlies couldn't overcome. Golden State has never really played this way. He shot below 40 percent from the field in almost half of his regular-season games. It's an advantage this Warriors team has never really had. Five Warriors had at least 17 points in the Game 3 victory, so it's not as though Golden State abandoned their principles against Memphis, but they do seem to have embraced a very simple fact: nobody on the Grizzlies can stay in front of Jordan Poole. Plays like this don't show up in the box score, but they're what made Poole so valuable in Game 3. With the win, Golden State has the opportunity to take what could be a significant lead in their best-of-seven series against Memphis on Monday night in Game 4.

Klay Thompson wasn't having it with insinuation that Jordan Poole tried to hurt Ja Morant.

But we're not out there trying to hurt people or trying to club people in the back of the head on a fastbreak. Poole briefly grabbed Morant's knee, and after the game, the Grizzlies were pretty heated about the incident. Brooks was suspended for Game 3.

The Warriors shot 63.1% from the field and had a 76.1 true shooting percentage in the Game 3 win -- the second-best in both categories in NBA postseason ...

"That's what we've been asking Wiggs to do all year ... put your head down and get to the hole," Green said. I think our players have adapted ... and they did a great job tonight of generating better looks." Coming off the first two games of the series -- the first won by one point, the second lost by five -- they knew that both of those games could have ended differently if their offense was a decimal better. Green said the Warriors were getting too deep into the paint, trying to kick the ball out, and "dancing" a bit too much on their cuts -- generally being careless with the ball -- which forced them to constantly defend Memphis in transition. "When you get your defense set, you come down with a balanced floor and you can get transition opportunities," Green said. He just understands how to play," Kerr said. "When you establish a tone where you get good shots, then the tough ones tend to go in." But as the Warriors started to stop Memphis from scoring, they settled on the offensive end. "I think it's a good look and I've done it before." "When we're getting good shots, the chances of Klay getting hot are much greater," Warriors head coach Steve Kerr said. They also made an impact on defense, holding the Grizzlies to just 4-of-17 shooting when they were the primary defenders. Kerr disagreed: "[It] was not a good shot.

Dillon Brooks has been suspended for Game 3 between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors on Saturday evening.

Devin Booker had 30 points in Game 2, and he spoke to the media postgame.CLICK HERE. This is the first time that the Warriors have been to the NBA Playoffs since the 2019 season when they lost to the Toronto Raptors in the NBA Finals. The Memphis Grizzlies are in California to take on the Golden State Warriors for Game 3 of their second-round playoff series on Saturday night, and for the game they will be without one of their best players.

Stephen Curry scored 30 points, Klay Thompson had 21 and nine rebounds and the Warriors shut down Ja Morant's supporting cast to embarrass the Grizzlies.

Morant hit a 31-foot 3-pointer midway through the first and Williams dunked shortly after for a 21-8 lead and Memphis made 6 of 9 shots to start the game. But the Grizzlies went cold and made only 3 of the next 12 and watched the Warriors close the quarter with an 18-7 burst. But Morant couldn’t do it alone for Memphis, and he was done after rubbing his tender right knee and limping off with 6:19 to play before heading to the locker room.

After three days off, the teams meet up at the Chase Center in San Francisco, where Golden State has to hope they’ll find their shooting form from deep. What will Golden State’s rotation look like without Payton? Which Warriors will be responsible for trying to contain Morant … or do they let Morant go off but try to stop everyone else? Payton’s landing on his elbow resulted in a fracture with ligament and muscle damage, knocking him out of this round and possible the entire postseason.

Get a recap of the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors basketball game.

Morant hit a 31-foot 3-pointer midway through the first and Williams dunked shortly after for a 21-8 lead and Memphis made 6 of 9 shots to start the game. ... Golden State is 4-0 playing at home during this postseason and 49-11 dating to the 2015 title run that ended with the franchise's first championship in 40 years. Golden State dominated with a balanced attack and energy on both ends after Green called for the offense to do more to better the defense. I don't think he's at full strength like he was in the regular season but he’s the ultimate competitor,” Jenkins said. But Morant couldn't do it alone for Memphis, and he was done after rubbing his tender right knee and limping off with 6:19 to play before heading to the locker room. "He was going after a dribble and Jordan Poole actually grabbed his knee and yanked it, which kind of triggered whatever happened, so I’m actually going to be very curious to see what happens after that." “We just become much tougher to guard.” “I’ve been through a tough knee injury, and I don’t think there’s any malicious intent from Jordan,” Thompson said. "When we doubled him, I hit the ball, l was going for the ball. “I don’t even think he’s strong enough to affect somebody’s knee. He will be sidelined indefinitely, also with ligament and muscle damage. We just watched the replay," Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said.

It puts the Grizzlies in a defensive no-man’s land. One cut seemed capable of breaking down the entire Memphis defense and the Warriors were cutting like crazy, both on- and off-ball. The Dubs’ spacing is a huge reason behind the success in the paint. What a concept! The Warriors often play a four-out, one-in offensive system with someone either in the dunkers’ spot or on the block. But against Morant, the Warriors gave it a go, giving them a heavy presence in the paint on drives and effectively conceding the wing 3-pointer to Morant’s Memphis teammates.

What looked to be a growing rivalry has now reached unthinkable heights between the Warriors and Grizzlies, and it has only been three games.

Brandon Clarke played the dangerous game of calling out Green for his foul on him in Game 1, that resulted in a questionable Flagrant 2 foul and ejection, with several stars around the league sticking up for the Warriors' fiery leader. Jaren Jackson Jr. even trolled them with a "strength in numbers" tweet after the Grizzlies blew out Golden State in late March. They're young, hungry and testing dangerous waters of poking a bear that isn't afraid to bite back. "Yeah, it was a basketball play when we doubled him, and I hit the ball and I was going for the ball," Poole said. The Splash Brothers of Steph Curry and Klay Thompson for far too long have been mislabeled as soft for being the catalyst of a jump-shooting team, that just so happened to make five straight NBA Finals and win three titles. Through three games of the series, we're a perfect 3-for-3 in a player being ejected. The first question he received was regarding that same tweet, and in response, Thompson started laughing. Once The Athletic's Marcus Thompson showed it to him on his phone, frustration of a building narrative was obvious from the soft-spoken sharpshooter. He's one of the game's all-time greatest talkers and has turned the volume up on this series for much more than what he was ejected from Game 1 for. Morant walked to the locker room with a slight limp and an apparent injury to his right knee as the Grizzlies were being blown out with just over six minutes remaining. But the story of the night quickly turned from the Warriors' dominant showing to a since-deleted tweet and comments from Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins. More notably, Morant appears to have hurt that same knee early in the third quarter when contesting a Klay Thompson 3-point attempt, clanking knees with the Warriors shooting guard. Morant didn't take questions from reporters, and though he walked to the Grizzlies' team bus without help, he did so with a clear limp.

Morant injury intrigue, Klay being Klay, Kuminga's 1st start and more to know as the Warriors take a 2-1 series lead by blowing out the Grizzlies.

“As long as my shoulders are squared up to the rim, I can take a 1-footer, a 2-footer,” Thompson said. “They were throwing a lot of different bodies at him,” Jenkins said of Morant. “He’s got a lot that’s on his shoulders right now, and I think he’s rising to the occasion. “Klay has been in a little bit of a rush,” Kerr said before the game. The shot dropped into the basket after Thompson threw up a layup while falling down to the floor. “We did a pretty good job of stopping other guys,” Green said. So it’s not a joking matter that Ja is hurt but all the rest it is total B.S. in terms of the conversation right now.” “It was a basketball play when we doubled him, and I hit the ball and I was going for the ball,” Poole said. We’ve got a basketball game to try to win Monday.” Golden State took offense that Green was ejected in Game 1 for collecting a Flagrant 2 foul after grabbing Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke by the jersey during a drive to the basket. The Warriors cemented a 142-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3 of their conference semifinal series in much different fashion in their nailbiting Game 1 win and their frustrating Game 2 loss. So much that Warriors guard Klay Thompson dismissed the comments as “playoff talk.” But the Warriors viewed the Grizzlies’ motives through a skeptical lens.

The star point guard had to leave Game 3 after Jordan Poole grabbed his knee.

After the game, Morant twitter then deleted a tweet that showed he was not happy with the Warriors. However, the tension that occurred in the game continued after the final horn blew. I don't even play like that for real.

With Gary Payton II out due to an elbow injury, the Warriors are turning to rookie Jonathan Kuminga to start against the Grizzlies on Saturday.

Kuminga scored 15 points with extended minutes, and also added seven rebounds, four assists, two blocks and one steal. Kuminga also played over 15 minutes in their Game 1 win, scoring six points to go with six rebounds, one assist and one steal. The 19-year-old played 14 minutes off the bench in the Warriors' Game 2 loss.

"There's going to be struggles, but at the end of the day, if you keep with it and you stay with it and you stay on course, you're going to succeed," Antetokounmpo said. "I hit the ball and I was going for the ball. The Warriors guard suffered a fractured elbow after the incident. "Hopefully he gets better, and we can see him out there next game. The tweet was later deleted. Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said he was undergoing further tests to evaluate the injury.

Stephen Curry scored 30 points, Klay Thompson had 21 and nine rebounds and Golden State shut down Ja Morant's supporting cast to embarrass Memphis.

“You need three [points] with 4.6 seconds, they know we need three,” Smart said after the game. “And I hit the ball, and I was going for the ball. On Saturday it was the Grizzlies who directed the accusation at the Warriors. Horford then got his own rebound and banked it in, but his final shot came just after the buzzer sounded. Smart got the rebound, but missed his putback attempt. But Morant couldn’t do it alone for Memphis, and limping off court with 6:19 to play before heading to the locker room.

If it’s serious enough to chase him from even one game, that would be a death knell for the Grizz. It puts the Grizzlies in a defensive no-man’s land. One cut seemed capable of breaking down the entire Memphis defense and the Warriors were cutting like crazy, both on- and off-ball. The Dubs’ spacing is a huge reason behind the success in the paint. What a concept! The Warriors often play a four-out, one-in offensive system with someone either in the dunker spot or on the block.

Kuminga on Saturday became the youngest player in NBA history to start a playoff game.

Kuminga has impressed throughout the season with the Warriors and that production is continuing in the playoffs. The team went to Kuminga in Game 2 when Payton was injured so it appears the seventh pick will continue to see a larger role in the series. Kuminga recorded 18 points, two rebounds and one assist as the Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 142-112, to take a 2-1 series lead in the Western Conference semifinals.
