The Golden State Warriors came out firing on Thursday night, dropping 37 first-quarter points in what looked to be a burgeoning blowout.
That fire was extinguished quickly, however.
The Memphis Grizzlies reset and grinded out buckets, outscoring the Warriors in the last three quarters to earn a 104-101 win in overtime.
Warriors star Steph Curry let loose on some flamethrower 3-pointers, including one during the second quarter run, but he went ice-cold down the stretch. Guard Damion Lee had a gutsy shooting display in the final quarters, continuing his trend of late scoring.
The Warriors’ offense struggled to score once the Grizzlies started to lock up Curry, and the defense could not contain Ja Morant and his 18 third-quarter points. The team moved the ball well but was sloppy with its passing, turning the ball over 22 times. Overall, they shot 43.3% from the field and 35% from three on the night.
With the Grizzlies handing the Warriors their first loss, leaving the Utah Jazz as the only undefeated team left, here is a look at the player grades for Golden State.
