Warriors

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

Green didn't discuss the game but committed $100,000 to form a fund in Payne's honor. ... The Grizzlies were 9 of 35 on 3s. Kerr called it a “dirty” play and said Brooks had broken an NBA code of conduct. Curry took charge and now his Warriors are one win from a trip to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2019. Andrew Wiggins had 17 points and 10 rebounds and Thompson scored 14 points despite missing all seven of his 3-point attempts for the cold-shooting Warriors, who didn't have to contend with do-everything Morant this time. “Obviously he’s been off for a couple of days. “He forced a couple. “Obviously there’s butterflies, because again you’re going into the game with a certain mindset and it’s a big game. “Nothing we figured out, it was just don't let the first three quarters influence the fact that we still had a chance to win the game,” Curry said. It’s a tough pill to swallow. “It’s a tough one. “His head coaching record for a Warrior playoff game I think is undefeated," Klay Thompson said.

Steph Curry appeared to take a quick shot at the Kings after the Warriors' Game 4 win over the Grizzlies.

I don't know how to explain all this." I felt like we got traded to the Kings overnight. After the win, in which assistant coach Mike Brown served as acting head coach a few hours after he was named head coach of the Kings, Curry was asked about the start of the game.

Steph Curry became the first player in NBA history to make 500 career playoff threes as he poured in 32 points to go along with eight assists to help the ...

"I think we came down and had some shots we usually make, and we couldn't finish those. "Al [Horford] had a hell of a game," said Milwaukee's Jrue Holiday, who had 16 points, seven rebounds and nine assists. It felt like we were leading the whole game," Jones told the media postgame. "It felt like we were in a good position. "Shoot the shots you think you can make, play aggressive, take care of the ball. "His head coaching record for a Warrior playoff game I think is undefeated," Warriors guard Klay Thompson said.

It came down to the wire as the Warriors rallied late to earn a 101-98 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies at Chase Center on Monday night.

Memphis, which was playing without Ja Morant, is not going to forget letting this one get away any time soon. It had every chance to win this game and go back ...

W.— Golden State Warriors (@warriors) pic.twitter.com/DizUEThxuy May 10, 2022 But again, even if Morant were to make a return, to defeat the Warriors three straight times is asking a lot. 🗣️🗣️🗣️— Golden State Warriors (@warriors) pic.twitter.com/SyTFsK4VHO May 10, 2022 Everyone wants to see Morant back on the court and have this series decided at as close to full-strength as possible for both sides. Jaren Jackson said he found out more about Morant's injury today and "it's definitely sad." But if you want to do some dot-connecting, there's this: Memphis just couldn't score enough without its superstar, and Golden State was eventually going to get going, if only for a stretch. The Warriors, as mentioned, shot 24 percent from 3, but Memphis only shot 25 percent. Of course, a lot of that was Memphis' defense, which, to be fair, is actually better without Morant. Klay Thompson and Jordan Poole combined to go 0 for 10 from 3. Curry, who has been fantastic all postseason in the paint and at the rim, is off on his 3-point shooting and missing wide-open looks pretty regularly. Memphis, which was playing without Ja Morant, is not going to forget letting this one get away any time soon.

Golden State shows some late-game grit, Mike Brown fills in admirably and more from a memorable Game 4.

The Grizzlies allowed the Warriors to shoot 10-of-17 from the field and 4-of-8 from deep in the final period. “A lot of it has to do with the playoff experience that these guys have but their talent and IQ in my opinion is second-to-none.” “I was pissed because I wanted to play and I wanted to play this season. “It’s helpful for James to have that example in front of him,” Kerr said. Wiseman has played in only 39 games since being selected as the No. 2 overall pick in the 2020 Draft and has yet to play an NBA game in his hometown. Green blocked Jaren Jackson Jr.’s 3-point attempt at the top of the key while the Warriors clung to a 98-95 lead with 19.5 seconds remaining. And he leaned on both the rest of the Warriors’ coaching staff, Green and Andre Iguodala for additional coaching help. After being part of two of the Warriors’ three NBA title runs, Brown will be tasked with leading the Kings to the playoffs for the first time since 2006. “Every game that we play at this point in the year, it’s huge.” “Now you have to manage everything and not necessarily manage the specific things that you are asked to do before game time. The Warriors escaped with a 101-98 Game 4 win against the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday to grab a 3-1 series lead. But after Draymond Green made a key block at the top of the key, Green roared in excitement toward the courtside fans.

Golden State Warriors – Memphis Grizzlies: The Warriors won Game 4, but as Steph Curry said, they played like the Sacramento Kings. That can't happen again if ...

We just kept handing the ball off the fullback left and right and at the end we kicked a field goal to win it,” Warriors assistant coach Mike Brown said. Brown — who was hired by the Kings to be their head coach over the weekend — was thrust into an interim head coaching role with the Warriors Monday after Steve Kerr tested positive for COVID. But while I think Kerr’s a great coach, but his presence on the sidelines is not worth between 20 and 30 points a night. Draymond Green’s block of Jaren Jackson’s 3-pointer sealed the victory. Regardless, the 49ers haven’t won a title in nearly 30 years. It was cynical — downright antithetical to the Warriors’ style of play, even — but it was also smart. Or maybe the Warriors looked like another Northern California team, the 49ers. A lot of history was made,” Curry told TNT after the game. This wasn’t a case of “championship DNA” separating Golden State in the final moments of the contest. Yes, the Warriors “won ugly” but that should not be considered a compliment in this circumstance. (Curry did try to spin this quote as a “misunderstanding” in his post-game presser. They looked hapless. They looked lifeless.

The Grizzlies were a dominant rebounding team during the regular season. They led the league in rebounds per game (49.2), offensive rebounds per game (14.1), ...

In Porter’s 94 total minutes of time on the floor during this series, the Warriors have outscored the Grizzlies by 54 points — a team high. Four of those 7 made threes came in Game 4 alone, 2 of which were vital in keeping the Warriors within striking distance and preventing the Grizzlies from pulling away. But the return of Porter’s distance shooting is a welcome development. The Grizzlies have a slight edge in offensive rebounding (46-44), but the Warriors have made the most out of their extra opportunities (70-55 advantage in second-chance points). The Warriors have outrebounded the Grizzlies by a total of 196-174. In 4 games against the Grizzlies, Porter is 7-of-13 (53.8%) on threes. Another key element of Wiggins’ repertoire was his individual defense down the stretch in Game 4. Prior to this series, Porter was on a rough shooting stretch. The Grizzlies were a dominant rebounding team during the regular season. He trailed close by, stayed close to Jones’ hip, and used his length to contest from behind and force a miss. In Game 4, he had 5 offensive rebounds, almost all of which led to productive extra possessions. But there’s an additional statistical anomaly to add to a bunch that has turned this series upside down.

"I had a feeling we were going to win the game when [Desmond] Bane hit the tough shot to end the third [quarter], we just willed it to four [points], ...

"I had a feeling we were going to win the game when [Desmond] Bane hit the tough shot to end the third [quarter], we just willed it to four [points], and I just knew we could -- we were going to win the game," Thompson told reporters after the game. "And I'm so proud of everyone in this organization for how we fought tonight. The shot that Thompson is referring to was a buzzer-beater from Bane that extended Memphis' lead to 69-62 heading into the fourth quarter.

Mike Brown will serve as Golden State's head coach on Monday night.

Obviously Morant's absence is a much bigger deal than Kerr being out for the Warriors, who are an experienced team that knows how to play in the playoffs and make their own adjustments on the court. Warriors assistant Mike Brown, who was just hired as the Sacramento Kings to be their next head coach, will serve as Golden State's coach in Game 4. The Golden State Warriors are looking to take a commanding 3-1 lead on the Memphis Grizzlies in their conference semifinal series on Monday night, but they'll have to do it without their head coach as Steve Kerr has tested positive for COVID-19, the team announced ahead of tipoff.

Stephen Curry converted eight free throws over the final 45.7 seconds on the way to 32 points, igniting the Golden State Warriors down the stretch on the ...

Kerr called it a “dirty” play and said Brooks had broken an NBA code of conduct. He tied it at 90 on a fall-away baseline jumper with 3:25 to go and his two free throws with 45.7 seconds to go gave the Warriors a 94-93 lead, their first of the night. “Nothing we figured out, it was just don’t let the first three quarters influence the fact that we still had a chance to win the game,” Curry said. Curry took charge and now his Warriors are one win from a trip to the Western Conference finals for the first time since 2019. “His head coaching record for a Warrior playoff game I think is undefeated,” Klay Thompson said. “Obviously there’s butterflies, because again you’re going into the game with a certain mindset and it’s a big game.
