With the chance to close out the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 5 on Wednesday, the Golden State Warriors flopped.
Instead of potentially punching a ticket to the Western Conference Finals, the Warriors registered one of their worst losses of the 2021-22 campaign.
Behind a flurry of early turnovers paired with cold shooting, the Warriors quickly dug themselves into a deep hole. In the first half, the Warriors recorded 14 turnovers alone, falling behind by 27 points at halftime.
Things didn’t get any easier for the Warriors in the second half. Heading into the third quarter, the Warriors trailed by an eye-popping 52 points.
Seven different members of the Grizzlies registered double-figure efforts in scoring on the way to a blowout victory over the Warriors, 134-95.
With the series now sitting at 3-2 heading into Game 6 on Friday night, here’s a look at three different observations from Wednesday’s contest in Memphis.
