SAN FRANCISCO — After the Warriors erupted for 142 points in an outstanding offensive showcase Saturday night at Chase Center, it took almost 40 minutes of game action Monday night for Golden State to even get halfway there.
It was that kind of calamitous night at Chase Center, but the Warriors still managed to pull out a come-from-behind 101-98 win over the Ja Morant-less Grizzlies to take a 3-1 lead in the Western Conference semifinals series.
The Warriors were without coach Steve Kerr, who entered the league’s COVID-19 health and safety protocols about two hours before tip-off after he tested positive for the virus. Assistant coach Mike Brown was at the helm for Game 4 and will remain there until at least Game 6 Friday, barring two negative test results for Kerr.
