"It's going to be even more of a grind," Memphis' De'Anthony Melton said of the ongoing series. Morant also found time for eight rebounds, but it wasn't enough to avoid a second straight game in which the Warriors earned an advantage on the boards. "Lot of adversity, a lot of adrenaline and emotion. "We've been in a lot of different series that's taken a lot of twists and turns," Curry said. Brooks will sit out Game 3, when Golden State will attempt to shake off one of the worst 3-point shooting efforts in its postseason history. That's because Game 2 featured an ugly incident in the third minute when the Grizzlies' Dillon Brooks leveled Golden State's Gary Payton II from behind on a break-away attempt, sending the guard crashing to the court and fracturing his left elbow.

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.

The Memphis Grizzlies have more to worry about than their 30-point loss to the Warriors in Game 3 on Saturday night. Ja Morant exited the game late in the ...

The Grizzlies will likely need to lean on their defense in the event Morant can't go. Morant missed 25 games during the regular season with the Grizzlies posting a 20-5 record. Post-game Warriors guard Jordan Poole was asked about the incident. "I was going for the ball, obviously I don't wanna see anybody get hurt. he appeared visibly agitated before the Grizzlies' medical team led him back to the locker room for further examination. I don't even play like that."
