The frustration was evident on Eric Paschall’s face all night long. Having fouled out for the first time in his young career, he resigned himself to watching the final two minutes of the game on the bench, with a long and neutral expression on his face but with a palpable sense of resentment at what seemed like a series of unfair whistles given to him by the officials.
Eventually, that expressionless face turned into a smile. How could he not? After all, the Golden State Warriors had finally broken a seven-game losing streak, winning against the Memphis Grizzlies by a lopsided score of 114-95.
