It wasn’t JMG’s best game, but he did provide the team with some much-needed energy. The team was more disciplined and focused when Iguodala was on the court. he even blocked a pair of shots! In the first quarter of this game the ball got batted out towards the scorer’s table, and looked like it was going to go out of bounds. Maybe his worst since the start of the season. I’m not going to say that Iguodala was great in this game, because that would be ... He attacked the rim. except a Memphis player who hadn’t given up on the play caught up to it while it was still in play, and ended up with a one-on-zero fast break. Thompson was the closest player to it and could have easily grabbed it. which are low, since they’ve been the third-worst defensive team in the league on the road this season. The fact that Curry has played as well as he had these last two games has just made it that much more awful that the Dubs have been mostly non-competitive. They have too much experience and too much talent — even with Andrew Wiggins, Jonathan Kuminga, and Gary Payton II sidelined — to play like a one-man show.

Golden State Warriors forward Draymond Green had more words for Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks.

Memphis Grizzlies forward Dillon Brooks helped his team get a win against the Golden State Warriors, then he responded to Draymond Green.

The Warriors star finished 10-for-19 shooting, but Brooks did most of his work by denying the ball from Curry and fighting through what he called "illegal screens" from the Warriors. Brooks isn't active on social media, so when Green's comments started to go viral, teammates put the video in their group chat, and Brooks watched the entire two-minute clip. Brooks made a layup after a steal over the outstretched arms of Green, so he paused and stood in front of Green as the FedExForum crowd got louder and louder. "I kind of wanted that play just to see what he was going to say," Brooks said. To back up his argument, Brooks said he can do the same stuff Green does, plus score and call out opponent's plays. He called Green's job "easy" and "just showing up to work." Then, Brooks may have thrown a low-blow of his own. And besides, Brooks doesn’t know the address to that place anyway. Among the many things Green said was implying that the Grizzlies will be a better team after Brooks leaves. A tip of the cap to the referees for not giving Brooks and Green offsetting technical fouls when the faceoff finally came. He finished with 14 points on 6-for-15 shooting and six assists, but that wasn’t enough. After all, he started it with his comments in an ESPN story about Green.
