But Morant couldn't convert a buzzer-beating driving layup that could have flipped the final score in Memphis' favor.

Patyon injured his elbow on the play, which led to Dillon Brooks being ejected.

No foul was called on the play, and the sequence was not reviewed. If the first two games are any indication, this is going to be an incredibly physical and fiery series.

This time, Curry scored four points and Poole had six, but Golden State finished the third on a 13-3 run to tie it up at 77.

Gary Payton II souffre d'une fracture du coude après une faute violente de Dillon Brooks, qui lui a valu d'être expulsé.

Sorti sous la bronca des tribunes, l'intérieur de Golden State leur a répondu par des doigts d'honneur. "Si vous huez quelqu'un qui saigne au niveau de l'oeil, après avoir reçu un coup de coude au visage, vous devriez vous faire virer, a réagi l'All-Star des Warriors. S'ils veulent jouer les durs, je peux l'être aussi. Et un gars arrive et le frappe en pleine tête. Dillon Brooks a brisé le code d'honneur." Mais il y a un code dans cette ligue, que les joueurs suivent, vous ne mettez jamais la saison ou la carrière d'un joueur en danger en l'attrapant en l'air et en le frappant en pleine tête." Pour l'homme aux huit bagues de champion (cinq en tant que joueur, trois comme entraîneur), le geste de Brooks dépasse les limites. Le coach de la franchise de San Francisco, Steve Kerr, ne décolère pas. Le premier bilan est sans appel : fracture du coude et une très probable absence jusqu'à la fin des playoffs.

The Memphis Grizzlies evened their second-round series with the Golden State Warriors at one game apiece with a 106-101 victory in Game 2 on Tuesday.

Curry gets a clean look at hits a three. His defense, cutting and finishing and overall energy is a huge part of what the Warriors do. Steve Kerr called it a dirty play, and I agree. And Dillon Brooks took it away from him. The difference now is they can't consistently shoot their way out of trouble as Curry and Thompson are simply not the marksmen they used to be, or at least they haven't been this season. His case is less suspicious; he's still less than four months into his return from two years off with a torn ACL and ruptured Achilles. Still, he needs to rein in some of his no-conscience ways, particularly off the dribble, which is not his strength. You can tell how locked in a shooter is by his misses -- are they short or long, a better sign, or missing left and right? Curry and Klay Thompson combined to shoot 5 for 23 from 3 and 16 for 44 overall. Morant, who brought the Grizzlies home with 18 fourth-quarter points, was ultra aggressive, getting up 31 shots, and 12 of those were from beyond the arc. Morant caught a break early on when Gary Payton II was lost for the game after a Flagrant 2 foul courtesy of Dillon Brooks, who was ejected. As mentioned at the top, his 47 points puts him on a list with Kobe Bryant and LeBron James as the only players in history to post multiple 45-point playoff games before the age of 23. Game 3 is set for Saturday in San Francisco.

With Gary Payton II out indefinitely, coach Steve Kerr has to scrap his initial game plans for the series against the Grizzlies.

The Warriors have to shred the first page of their plan for the series. With Payton X-rayed and unavailable, Ja had his way with every defender the Warriors threw at him. It knocked him out of the game.” Moreover, Kerr also knew for sure that Payton, inserted into the starting lineup specifically to defend Ja, will miss the rest of the series. He quickly suspected Payton might not return to the game, and he did not. That comment was made in an interview with TNT’s Jared Greenberg between the first and second quarters.

Car en plus de la défaite, les Dubs ont dû gérer pas mal de problèmes au niveau de l’infirmerie. Le premier ? Draymond Green, qui s’est pris un vilain coup à l’oeil par un adversaire. Malheureusement, pas de miracle pour Payton II après cette blessure. Quelques jours de repos, et Green sera partant pour le Game 3, devant son public. Après la victoire au Game 1, les Warriors ont perdu contre les Grizzlies ce mardi soir, à l’occasion du Game 2. Les 27 unités de Steph Curry n’ont pas suffi, mais le gros problème de ce match se situe ailleurs. Steve Kerr a rapidement confirmé le diagnostic après la partie : c’est un coude fracturé pour l’ailier, qui devrait manquer le reste de la série contre les Grizzlies. Il passera une IRM ce mercredi pour en savoir plus sur sa blessure.
