Grizzlies vs Warriors

Memphis showcases its depth and resolve to prevail in a dominant Game 5 victory against Golden State to extend the series.

The Warriors were eager and able to rid themselves of the stench, it was so one-sided. Said Green: “I appreciated the crowd tonight and the energy they brought to the game. By that point, the Grizzlies had the outcome on ice, 119-67. “I don’t go out there and try to be ’12,’” Jones said, referring to Morant’s jersey number. Something folks might not know is that Jones has led the NBA in assists-to-turnover ratio for fourth consecutive seasons. Said Jaren Jackson Jr., seated between Bane and Jones at the postgame podium: “Resume speaks for itself. Maybe it’s a surprise to the national media because we haven’t played on a big stage. Memphis already had 97 points when Curry and Green exited with nearly 19 minutes remaining, more points than the Warriors would get all game. Facing one of the NBA’s most talented and savvy playoff teams, with about two weeks of game-planning and adjustments baked in, and the Grizzlies facing elimination? Acting coach Mike Brown didn’t dazzle in his second consecutive stint subbing for Steve Kerr (Health and Safety Protocols) but he did at least spread more than half the game’s minutes on the bench. Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Banes and Tyus Jones each scored 21, more than anybody on the Warriors side. The Grizzlies’ record this season in games when their dynamic point guard, Ja Morant, was hurt or otherwise absent was 20-5.

I have nothing against the Warriors, but the hours we've invested into this game feel more worthwhile if they lose by 60. we're guys that really want to win." "That's just been our team the whole year... Probably. No coach is worth 40 points in a single game. Stephen Curry bailed them out of Game 4 because he's Stephen Curry. He can do that from time to time. The Grizzlies were the NBA's best offensive rebounding team by a mile this season. Finally, in Game 5, he took his first loss, but boy, was it an ugly one. The Grizzlies made 44.4 percent of theirs. Getting Steven Adams back into the rotation clearly seems to have made a difference, and the Warriors, without a shooting big man, aren't punishing him defensively in the same way that Minnesota could. The Grizzlies made 50.9 percent of theirs. Memphis received contributions from up and down their roster as seven players finished the win having scored in double figures. Let's focus on the competitive portion of the game, which was the first three quarters.

He said after the win against the Warriors that he tries to do all the little things and play good defense.

They made nine 3-pointers and outscored the Warriors 42-17 in the third to push the game into blowout territory. De'Anthony Melton scored 10 off the Grizzlies bench. Forward Dillon Brooks, who scored a dozen points, was among the seven Grizzlies players who scored at least 10 points. The Grizzlies outscored the Warriors 38-28 over the first 12 minutes, powered by Jackson's 10 points. They also totaled just nine giveaways and 37 assists, while the Warriors logged 22 turnovers and 22 assists. Jackson netted a hook shot 17 seconds into the game to spark a 7-2 run.

Jaren Jackson Jr. is turning into a No. 1 option for the Memphis Grizzlies against the Golden State Warriors in the 2022 NBA Playoffs.

I want to get him going early in the game because I knew he was going to be a big factor early in the game, late in the game. One of those players is often in alongside Jackson, and they combined for 11 offensive rebounds in Game 5 while the Warriors had four as a team. Bane can match the Warriors' stars with his 3-point shooting and scoring, while Jackson's size and ability to go off the dribble makes him a tough matchup. Jackson showed a similar aggressiveness in Game 4, when the Grizzlies didn't trail until the final 45.7 seconds of the loss. Tyus Jones and Desmond Bane tied Jackson with a team-high 21 points in Game 5. “Be aggressive,” Jackson said. If the Warriors play their small-ball lineup, Green could guard Jackson, but that would open up offensive rebounding even more. A point was made early to get Jackson the ball. Jackson's growth and aggressiveness is putting Golden State in a tough position. The Memphis Grizzlies have found a mismatch against the Golden State Warriors. It has come at the perfect time. No one to stop him. “They’ve got no one to guard him.

Losing two consecutive games in Chase Center in Game 3 and Game 4 did not derail the mentality of this young Memphis Grizzlies squad. Despite being down 1-3 ...

There seems to be no middle ground with the performance of Brooks, so Memphis fans must hope and pray that he is on a heater in Game 6 as he is more than capable to make it rain from long distance. It created more possessions for them as a 24-5 second-chance points advantage was a massive reason for the rout of the Grizzlies. The size of the Warriors has been a persisting issue but not all franchises are able to expose their weaknesses. Without Morant, Jenkins needs more individuals to step up to the plate and create offense for the Grizzlies. Putting Steven Adams in the starting lineup has been a brilliant move for coach Taylor Jenkins as there are certain instances wherein his size alone has brought problems to the Warriors frontline. Memphis dominated every category as Golden State was demoralized from the onset and barely put up a fight in the second half. Losing two consecutive games in Chase Center in Game 3 and Game 4 did not derail the mentality of this young Memphis Grizzlies squad.
