Klay Thompson didn't mince words regarding the Golden State Warriors' performance in a 134-95 blowout loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 5 of their second-round playoff series on Wednesday night.
According to ESPN's Ohm Youngmisuk, Thompson said: "It was awful. It was embarrassing. From the opening tip, they had great flow, and they were more aggressive than us. ... We all had the mindset that we were going to close it out tonight, but sometimes basketball [isn't] an exact science, and we played like a shell of ourselves."
Golden State had a chance to close things out Wednesday, but instead, the series will head back to San Francisco for Game 6 on Friday.
