The Golden State Warriors fell to 18-22 on the season after losing to the Memphis Grizzlies 116-107 on Monday night. The Grizzlies entered the day with the sixth-worst record in the NBA and were missing a laundry list of key players. Yet, even that floundering Memphis team dealing with injuries to Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Marcus Smart, Derrick Rose, Brandon Clarke, and Steven Adams was able to come out on top against the Dubs.
The Warriors may be tempted to cite an excellent shooting night from the Grizzlies bench as the source of their demise. Memphis’s bench finished the game shooting 18-for-34 from the field and 11-for-20 from three for 57 points.
