Then on Tuesday night, the Golden State Warriors got gritty and battled their way to a 121-116 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies. This win clinched the Warriors the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference. Jimmy Butler III did what he could, going for 38 points alien style. Under his leadership, the Warriors brought a level of inner toughness and court prowess never seen before.
Butler went far beyond providing a scoring punch, adding seven rebounds and six assists while controlling the action. He is the driving force piece that helped the Warriors squeeze past the Grizzlies in a dogfight of a game, where it seemed like every single point mattered.
For the visiting Grizzlies, it was all about Desmond Bane, who exploded for 30 points. Ja Morant contributed 22 points, but even with his and Bane’s best efforts, Memphis could not keep up with the electrifying Warriors’ backcourt duo. Back in Memphis, the Grizzlies are getting ready to host their next challengers. Next up they’ll face the winner of Friday’s game between the Dallas Mavericks and Sacramento Kings.
The game unfolded with high stakes, as both teams fought fiercely for a chance to advance in the postseason. Golden State’s offensive approach, characterized by forceful dribble drives and crisp shooting, was a perfect matchup against Memphis’ defensive style.
