The Golden State Warriors were able to hang on at home on Tuesday night and beat the Memphis Grizzlies, 121-116, in the NBA Play-In tournament. The win clinches the seventh seed for the Warriors, who advance to face the Houston Rockets in a first-round series that will start on Sunday.
Leading the way for the Warriors was Jimmy Butler, who loves coming up big in playoff games. He had a game-high 38 points, while Steph Curry was right behind him with 37 points. Curry came up clutch down the stretch yet again, scoring 15 points in the fourth quarter and hitting two big three-pointers in the final minutes to ice the game.
