"It's going to be even more of a grind," Memphis' De'Anthony Melton said of the ongoing series. Morant also found time for eight rebounds, but it wasn't enough to avoid a second straight game in which the Warriors earned an advantage on the boards. "Lot of adversity, a lot of adrenaline and emotion. "We've been in a lot of different series that's taken a lot of twists and turns," Curry said. Brooks will sit out Game 3, when Golden State will attempt to shake off one of the worst 3-point shooting efforts in its postseason history. That's because Game 2 featured an ugly incident in the third minute when the Grizzlies' Dillon Brooks leveled Golden State's Gary Payton II from behind on a break-away attempt, sending the guard crashing to the court and fracturing his left elbow.

Despite the low scoring affair in game two, the Grizzlies did a lot better job on the defensive end of the floor, leading 18 Warriors turnovers, which led to easier baskets for Memphis. The spacing in transition has to be better for the Grizzlies, along with their decision making. On top of that, taking care of each possession is magnified against Golden State, but add in your on the road as well. Memphis will have to play controlled on both ends, and adapt to how the game is being played. Another underrated story heading into tonight’s game three is the return of Memphis Grizzlies big man Steven Adams. How do the Grizzlies snatch home court advantage back in this series? The Grizzlies have done a really good job throughout the Playoffs of controlling what they can control.

Grading Steph Curry, Jordan Poole, Andrew Wiggins, and the rest of the Golden State Warriors in the team's 142-112 win over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 3 ...

The Grizzlies are upset, though it doesn’t seem like anyone outside of Memphis saw it as a dirty play by Poole. Either way, hopefully Morant is OK. Then, when the Warriors had built a strong lead, it felt like every shot was a debilitating gut punch that reminded Memphis that they stood no chance. Really valuable minutes from Lee, who stated a strong case for more playing time. He also crashed the glass in a huge way. First, he played half of the game. He boxed out, kept numerous offensive rebounds alive, and generally outworked a Memphis team that rarely gets outworked. In my opinion, this was one of Wiggins’ best games as a Warrior. The stat sheet may not pop out at you, but he did everything the Warriors want him to do. It’s hard to give someone anything other than a perfect grade for scoring a point a minute on hyper-efficient shooting splits, but his early mistakes hold him back a bit here. His defense was poor, he made a few disaster plays on offense, and did more harm than good. He got the Dubs into their actions quickly, and preyed on a Memphis defense that rarely had time to set. Green’s turnovers continue to be a bit of an issue in this series. Wow. That was a whole bunch of fun.

The Golden State Warriors made a statement in their Game 3 win over the Memphis Grizzlies. After stealing homecourt advantage away from the upstart Grizz with their Game 1 win, the Warriors came back to San Francisco for a pivotal Game 3. branding logo.

If I'm being completely honest, even if Morant plays Game 5, I think the Dubs have momentum on their side now, and playing at home will get them over the line regardless. TV channel (U.S.) Morant's injury notwithstanding, the Grizzlies should be concerned about giving up 142 points on the road in a game where Curry only made two shots from beyond the arc. While they might not shoot over 60% again, the Warriors did clean up the turnovers in the second half of Game 3 which allowed them to pull away. If he's not, then I don't see much of a world in which the Grizzlies keep it close given how this series has played out so far. Adams: I expect the Warriors to once again come out focused on the their home floor.

Can the Warriors race out to a commanding 3-1 lead? Golden State is undefeated at home this postseason heading into Game 4 against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Golden State is 4-0 playing at home during this postseason and 49-11 dating to the 2015 title run that ended with the franchise's first championship in 40 years. Golden State dominated with a balanced attack and energy on both ends after Green called for the offense to do more to better the defense. I don't think he's at full strength like he was in the regular season but he’s the ultimate competitor,” Jenkins said. But Morant couldn't do it alone for Memphis, and he was done after rubbing his tender right knee and limping off with 6:19 to play before heading to the locker room. "He was going after a dribble and Jordan Poole actually grabbed his knee and yanked it, which kind of triggered whatever happened, so I’m actually going to be very curious to see what happens after that." “We just become much tougher to guard.” “I’ve been through a tough knee injury, and I don’t think there’s any malicious intent from Jordan,” Thompson said. "When we doubled him, I hit the ball, l was going for the ball. “I don’t even think he’s strong enough to affect somebody’s knee. He will be sidelined indefinitely, also with ligament and muscle damage. We just watched the replay," Memphis coach Taylor Jenkins said.
