Steph Curry stats tonight: Warriors superstar shines in clutch vs Grizzlies to secure No. 7 seed (April 15)

After slipping in the standings to close out the regular season, Steph Curry and the Golden State Warriors punched their ticket to the playoffs with a hard-fought 121-116 win over the gritty Memphis Grizzlies in Tuesday’s showdown for the No. 7 seed.

The play-in clash between the Warriors and Grizzlies opened with Memphis taking control early, with Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. powering the Grizzlies to an 11-3 start.

But from that point on, Golden State flipped the script, with Steph Curry’s co-star Jimmy Butler erupting for 10 points to help the Warriors grab a 31-18 advantage with less than two minutes left in the opening quarter.

Still, a quick 7-0 burst capped off by a Luke Kennard 3 trimmed the Warriors’ lead to 31-22 after one.

The intensity carried over into the second quarter, with Ja Morant and Desmond Bane taking charge for the Grizzlies as they steadily cut into the Warriors’ lead. But Butler and Curry stayed locked in, combining to keep Golden State in front and stretching the lead to 67-55 by halftime, after putting up 21 and 15 points apiece in the first half.

Memphis came out firing after the break, rallying all the way back to snatch a 101-100 lead in the fourth after Jackson Jr. buried a 3. But Golden State responded with poise, as Curry nailed back-to-back 3s to push the lead to 117-111 with just a minute left.

The Grizzlies clawed within two after a 5-0 burst, but Curry knocked down clutch free throws to halt the run. Down three with five seconds left, Memphis had a shot to tie it — but a costly five-second inbound violation gave the ball back to Golden State, and Curry iced the win at the line.
