MEMPHIS, Tenn. — If the Warriors were going to win Sunday, they were going to have to do it without their defensive anchor, Draymond Green.
It’s a tough task for Golden State against any team, but especially when they’re going toe-to-toe with the speedy and fearless young Grizzlies.
Still, Golden State found a way to get the job done, thanks to a hard-fought team effort that included an outstanding 31-point performance off the bench from Jordan Poole as well as clutch shooting from Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and strong defense from Gary Payton II and Kevon Looney.
