"In a battle of unheralded rosters, the Warriors trailed by just one point with 90 seconds remaining. Golden State and Memphis traded empty possessions for the next minute, with the Grizzlies forcing two separate jump balls. Gui Santos gave the Warriors the lead with a putback layup with under 15 seconds remaining, and then Brandin Podziemski got the block to secure the win."
"The Warriors had 23 turnovers, with Draymond Green accounting for seven of them. With Zach Edey and Santi Aldama among those inactive, faces familiar to the Bay Area led the Grizzlies. Warriors castaway Ty Jerome put up19 points in just 20 minutes, while Jahmai Mashack, who was drafted by Golden State this June before his draft rights were shipped to Memphis, scored 17 on 8 of 10 shooting off the bench."
"Al Horford had a throwback game with 16 points and six assists, while Podziemski scored 16. Santos scored in double figures for the seventh straight game, putting in 16. As has been the case many a time during the season, giveaways hampered Golden State for much of the night. Pat Spencer got his first home start since signing a standard contract and put up 17 points and seven assists. Across the court, younger brother Cam Spencer scored two but also had four assists."
Golden State defeated Memphis 114-113 after a late putback by Gui Santos and a game-sealing block by Brandin Podziemski. Memphis appeared as a roster of new faces and former Warriors castoffs, with Ja Morant absent. Golden State's roster also looked altered and older, with Draymond Green the lone remnant of the earlier dynasty. Al Horford, Podziemski and Santos each scored 16, while giveaways plagued the Warriors, who committed 23 turnovers with Green responsible for seven. Ty Jerome scored 19 for Memphis, Jahmai Mashack added 17 on efficient shooting, and Pat Spencer contributed 17 points and seven assists.
