In a remarkable display of shooting prowess, the Memphis Grizzlies set a franchise record by sinking 27 three-pointers, leading to a dominant 144-93 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Thursday night. Santi Aldama was a standout performer, contributing significantly with 21 points and 14 rebounds.
This win marked the Grizzlies’ largest margin of victory this season and the second-largest in the franchise’s history, only behind a previous blowout win against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Despite the challenging night for the Warriors, Brandin Podziemski put forth a commendable effort, scoring a season-high of 21 points. However, the star of the team, Stephen Curry, had an unusual off-night, finishing with just two points—his lowest in any game where he played at least 12 minutes.
Golden State’s Draymond Green did not contribute on the scoresheet, failing to record any points, rebounds, or assists during his time on the court.
The Grizzlies’ shooting was remarkable, as they achieved 51% accuracy from the field in the first half, leading to a commanding halftime score of 69-38. The home team’s success was largely attributed to teamwork, with multiple players contributing to the scoring run.
The Warriors, now struggling with consistency, have lost eight of their last ten matchups. They will aim to rebound in their next game against the Minnesota Timberwolves.
The Grizzlies, on the other hand, will look to maintain their momentum in an upcoming match against the Atlanta Hawks.
This encounter has set a tone for the season, showcasing the potential of the Grizzlies as they aim for a strong playoff performance.
