After losing three straight games and five of their last six, things didn’t get any easier for the Golden State Warriors on Monday against the Memphis Grizzlies to finish a five-game road trip.
Following a low-scoring battle in the first quarter, the Grizzlies jumped all over the Warriors in the second quarter. Memphis extended a four-point lead into a 26 point advantage before the halftime break.
On the final possession of the first half, Jordan Poole drove to the bucket for a layup that was sent away by De’Anthony Melton. Steve Kerr quickly exploded off the bench to plead for a goaltending call or basket interference. However, the Warriors didn’t receive the call and a furious Kerr was ejected from the game before halftime.
