Memphis Grizzlies vs Golden State Warriors May 7, 2022 Game ... (NBA.com)

The NBA issued Brooks a one-game suspension on top of the ejection he received after the play. Brooks will sit out Game 3, when Golden State will attempt to ...

"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.

Was Kings owner scouting Mike Brown at Warriors-Grizzlies game? (SFGate)

The Sacramento Kings are reportedly interested in both ESPN broadcaster Mark Jackson and Warriors coach Mike Brown for their head coaching vacancy.

Jackson, of course, is a broadcaster at ESPN. Ranadive wasn't in San Francisco to scout his color commentating chops, but he could have been in the building to grab a few minutes with Jackson afterwards. It's unclear if Brown would even take the Kings job, given how many coaches they've cycled through in recent years. What's more interesting about Ranadive's latest Dubs appearance is that the Kings currently don't have a head coach, and as it happens, two reported candidates for the job ( Mark Jackson and Mike Brown) were in the building on Saturday night.

Grizzlies vs. Warriors - Game Recap - May 7, 2022 - ESPN (ESPN)

Get a recap of the Memphis Grizzlies vs. Golden State Warriors basketball game.

Morant hit a 31-foot 3-pointer midway through the first and Williams dunked shortly after for a 21-8 lead and Memphis made 6 of 9 shots to start the game. ... 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.

Warriors offense carves up Grizzlies on way to 30-point win; Ja ... (NBC Sports)

The Golden State Warriors got into the paint and basically got any shot they wanted in Game 3, which led to a 30-point win against the Grizzlies.

Meanwhile, the hot shooting from the Grizzlies to open the game masked that they were not consistently getting good looks, they just made tough shots. The game looked different right after the opening tip, when the Grizzlies jumped out to a quick 10-point lead shooting 6-of-8 from 3. The result was 62 points in the paint, and the Warriors having a 76.7 true shooting percentage when both teams emptied their bench for garbage time. There was no report on the condition of Morant’s knee after the game, he will be evaluated more on Sunday, but he left the arena without crutches or an apparent brace, but walking with a limp. He limped off the court in the middle of the fourth quarter after tweaking his knee against a Warriors double-team. That sequence summed up the night: The Warriors got the shots they wanted against far too little defensive resistance.
