Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors Game Summary

The Memphis Grizzlies visited the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night at the Chase Center for the 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament. The winner advances to the playoffs as the No. 7 seed in the Western Conference, while the loser faces the winner of the Sacramento Kings-Dallas Mavericks matchup.

Interim Grizzlies coach Tuomas Iisalo won't have rookie forward Jaylen Wells, who has been ruled out for the rest of the season with multiple injuries from a hard fall. Iisalo replaced him with Scotty Pippen Jr. in the starting lineup, joining Ja Morant, Desmond Bane, Jaren Jackson Jr. and Zach Edey.

On the other hand, coach Steve Kerr stuck to his usual starting five featuring Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski, Moses Moody, Jimmy Butler and Draymond Green. The Warriors dropped to the play-in spots after losing their final regular-season game against the LA Clippers.

The Memphis Grizzlies were quick on offense early, but the Golden State Warriors found their rhythm to take control of the game. The Warriors went up by as much as 20 points and were headed to an easy win. However, the Grizzlies showed their grit in the third quarter to give the Warriors all they could handle.

Desmond Bane was nearly unstoppable, while Scotty Pippen Jr. was making life hell for Steph Curry. Ja Morant's sprained ankle killed some of Memphis' momentum but returned to help his team fight to the end.

Curry carried Golden State in the final five minutes of the game. They were up by six points with under a minute left, but a couple of questionable calls put the Grizzlies within striking distance. With around five seconds left, Santi Aldama was called for a five-second violation to give the Warriors possession.

The two-time NBA MVP put the game away at the free-throw line to give the Warriors a 121-116 win. They will play the Houston Rockets in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs, with Game 1 scheduled on April 19 at the Toyota Center.
