What’s the buzz on Twitter?

David Hardisty @clutchfans
Ziaire Williams was extremely inefficient his only year at Stanford but was a 5-star recruit (ranked #8) out of high school and was drafted with the 10th pick in last year’s draft. Patrick Baldwin Jr (#5) and Jaden Hardy (#2) fit that exact profile in this year’s draft. – 10:56 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Ja Morant’s going to need 50 for Memphis to win
But he can’t play to *just* get 50.
That 14 and 5 dimes Morant had in first quarter worked much better than the 9 and no dimes Morant had in second quarter – 10:52 PM Peter Edmiston @peteredmiston
Grizzlies up 5 on the strength of a phenomenal Ja Morant half & a very good one from Jaren Jackson Jr. But it doesn’t feel sustainable. No Dillon and hobbled Bane putting so much pressure on Melton/Ziaire – both of whom were OK, all in all. Still, gonna need 40+ from Ja to win. – 10:52 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz

Grizzlies had 6 turnovers at the half but only gave up 2pts while the Warriors had 11 TO.
Grizzlies need to crash the boards and stop the Warriors from gettin these offensive rebounds. Golden State had 8 offensive rebounds for 10 2nd chance pts. – 10:51 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
At the half: Grizzlies 56, Warriors 51
-GSW: trailed throughout
-Steph 15/Klay 10/JP 8/Kuminga 7
-Rebounds: 26-21 Warriors
-Turnovers: GSW 11, MEM 6
-Bandages: A lot – 10:51 PM CBS NBA @CBSSportsNBA

Warriors down 5 at half, have not had a lead in the game. 4/18 from three. 11 turnovers to Grizzlies’ five. Warriors winning the rebounding battle, 26-21 with 8 offensive boards. – 10:50 PM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Just like last game, the Grizz have made more 3s (7-4) and the Warriors have more rebounds (26-21). Coincidentally, halftime show is Quick Change. – 10:50 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
HALFTIME: Warriors trail the Grizzlies, 56-51. With GPII out, Golden State has little answer for Ja Morant, who has 23 points. – 10:49 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Injuries suddenly a major storyline six quarters into this series: Gary Payton II out, Draymond Green’s right eye is swollen near shut and Desmond Bane clearly isn’t himself. Just put up a 0-1-0-0-0 stat line in 13 empty first half minutes. Can’t move out there. – 10:49 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Steals: Memphis 8, Golden State 1 – 10:48 PM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
Warriors should be angry with Memphis but happy with the score. Get the turnovers under control and they win this going away. – 10:48 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Grizzlies lead the Warriors 56-51 at halftime. Golden State went 4-18 from 3-point range and turned the ball over 11 times. Ja Morant has 23 points for Memphis, Stephen Curry leads the Warriors with 15 points. Draymond Green is playing with one eye. Gary Payton II is out. – 10:48 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Ja Morant with 23 first half points. Hit a couple 3s, took five, but remained relentless attacking the rim despite the Warriors’ sagging scheme. Seven free throws. Grizzlies up five. – 10:48 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Grizzlies lead 56-51 at the half.
Morant: game-high 23pts, 4reb, 5ast
Jackson Jr.: 12pts, 4reb – 10:48 PM Ryan Ward @RyanWardLA
That burst of speed from Ja Morant is wild… don’t know how you guard that. – 10:47 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Halftime: Grizzlies 56 Warriors 51
Lots of decisions for Taylor Jenkins to make.
Dillon Brooks is out. Bane isn’t 100%. Who will be the two wings/guards to finish and play most of the second half with Ja Morant?
Morant has 23 points. Jaren Jackson Jr. has 12. Curry with 15. – 10:47 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
We get one more half of Memphis-Warriors Game 2. pic.twitter.com/8GsqmOBO3r – 10:47 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Grizzlies are playing tough here without Dillon Brooks and with Bane clearly hobbled (he’s not moving well). They will take that half. They had mistakes they could clean up, too. – 10:47 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
Jordan Poole is already pretty good. Jonathan Kuminga is going to be pretty good. If the Warriors can get James Wiseman figured out, they’ll have nailed this bridge from group to the next thing. – 10:46 PM Haralabos Voulgaris @haralabob
If you are Wiggins and you are gonna lunge to make him pick it up do it in the backcourt imo – 10:46 PM Tom Westerholm @Tom_NBA
That Dillon Brooks flagrant was nasty business, my goodness. – 10:46 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Bane’s walking like the 45-year-old trying to play pickup hoops with the 20-something crowd. – 10:46 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz

Draymond is putting on a fake DHO clinic. – 10:44 PM Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA
So Kyle Anderson has to keep playing because Brooks is out?
Steven Adams absolutely can’t play, but starting Tillman — who is being guarded by Klay — has to happen?
Williams + Melton + Anderson playing together? It’s impossible to play 4 of your 7 best players all the time? – 10:44 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Grizzlies on the run is a dangerous thing! – 10:44 PM J. Kyle Mann @jkylemann
really impressive two way sequence from kuminga there – 10:43 PM Peter Edmiston @peteredmiston
You can’t play both Ja Morant and Ziaire Williams together and expect any kind of coherent defense. Not gonna happen. – 10:43 PM TJ McBride @TJMcBrideNBA
Ja Morant is an astounding athlete. It blows my mind every time I see these insane midair acrobatics of his. It looked like he turned off the gravity on that dunk. – 10:42 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Every game we see how high Ja Morant can fly! – 10:42 PM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
Tremendous play by Kuminga. Cleared space. Wouldn’t be denied. – 10:42 PM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Warriors are 4-18 from 3. And. Grizz only lead by one. – 10:41 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob
wise choice, Klay. – 10:41 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz
yo……. – 10:41 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz
GO GET IT @Ziaire Williams 🎱 pic.twitter.com/Ge7KQyK8Wv – 10:41 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Jordan Poole’s handle is good. But not as good as he thinks it is. – 10:40 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Poole can’t go into his dribbling exhibitions against this team. Handle not tight enough yet. – 10:40 PM Brian Mahoney @briancmahoney
Draymond Green hitting all these cutters with one good eye is pretty impressive. – 10:40 PM Chris Palmer @ChrisPalmerNBA
Imagine being 19 years old in an NBA playoff game. Jonathan Kuminga is the 6th youngest player ever in a playoff game. – 10:39 PM Michael Grange @michaelgrange
Draymond in the short roll is basically Magic Johnson. It’s not fair. – 10:39 PM Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Zaire Williams and Jonathan Kuminga playing real minutes in this game is crazy. Scouting reports on both of them coming out was “raw.” – 10:39 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Green to Kuminga. – 10:37 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
With these limited shooting groups for the Grizz, I think GSW can get away with putting 2 on the ball on Ja PnRs vs Poole and rotating behind the play. – 10:37 PM Haralabos Voulgaris @haralabob
Ja is basically trying to hide on Wiggins – GSW is letting Wiggins crash. We’ll see how much impact that has (if any bc he’s a monster) on Ja down the stretch. – 10:36 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
The long rebounds are again hurting the Grizzlies. Seven offensive rebounds already and dominating Memphis on the glass. – 10:36 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Didn’t see the Morant/Bane/Jones minutes at all in Game 1. That group destroyed Minnesota. But now Bane is compromised physically. – 10:35 PM Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
This game has been absolutely nuts. Once it settles down a bit, I think the Warriors benefit the most. – 10:34 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
No matter the outcome of Game 2 tonight, Warriors and Grizzlies will be grateful for 3 full days before Game 3 on Saturday. Training rooms will be crowded – 10:34 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors 4 of 16 from 3. And 12 of 19 from 2. – 10:34 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Dillon Brooks was ejected for a flagrant 2 which injured Gary Payton II. Draymond Green suffered a right eye laceration before he flipped off the Memphis crowd. And this was all in the first three-plus minutes of Game 2. espn.com/nba/story/_/id… – 10:34 PM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak
Draymond defending well for a guy with one eye at the moment. – 10:34 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Grizzlies are really having a tough time putting together logical lineups. Without Dillon Brooks, and with a clearly hobbled Desmond Bane, the Grizzlies are forced to try some uncomfortable groupings. It would really help them if Melton plays like he did in Game 1. – 10:34 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz
hold dat.
12 points in the first half for @Jaren Jackson Jr. 🦄 pic.twitter.com/bIpQBdOzwg – 10:33 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Jaren doesn’t have any blocks, but he’s totally cut off the rim for Golden State. Only 4/9 at the basket, and they are kicking out constantly. Grizz perimeter rotations have also been solid on those. – 10:33 PM Kurt Helin @basketballtalk
Grizzlies’ Dillon Brooks ejected for foul on Gary Payton II (VIDEO) nba.nbcsports.com/2022/05/03/gri… – 10:31 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Desmond Bane clearly is not 100%. Took the charge on Otto Porter, then walked back gingerly to the bench while De’Anthony Melton subbed in for him. Melton was already at the table ready to come in. Those next three days off are going to be good for Bane. – 10:31 PM J. Kyle Mann @jkylemann
that kyle anderson three sounded like it actually hit the rim mic directly 😬 – 10:31 PM Jason Dumas @JDumasReports
Nah Wiggins ain’t have to go crazy like this. That man has a family. pic.twitter.com/GJvsvlzPdN – 10:30 PM Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Again, Bane can’t get the shot off, but does step in to take a charge. He’s clearly not right. – 10:30 PM Krishna Narsu @knarsu3
No Kuminga today? Why? – 10:30 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Jonathan Kuminga in with 6:22 left in the half. – 10:30 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Warriors with 10 turnovers and, because of offensive rebounding, still have three more shots than the Grizzlies – 10:30 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Kuminga Time. – 10:30 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Desmond Bane’s not moving right out there. – 10:30 PM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Yeah, Desmond Bane is just not himself. – 10:30 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Both teams struggling to find their shooting touch in the second quarter. It’s been an ugly start. Morant and Curry back in can change that. – 10:30 PM Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwill
Steph to Wiggins: “Now that’s how you supposed to drive! From now on, that’s how you drive!” – 10:28 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Draymond Green’s right eye looks swollen shut. – 10:27 PM LeBron James @KingJames

Desmond Bane is scoreless in 11 quiet minutes. Had a heat back on his lower back when he was resting. Looks stiff out there. – 10:25 PM Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlin
Gary Payton II (left elbow) will not return to tonight’s game, per the Warriors. – 10:24 PM Will Guillory @WillGuillory
That’s the first time I’ve ever seen Wiggins curse on the court – 10:24 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Per @Golden State Warriors PR: Draymond Green received stitches for a right eye laceration. – 10:24 PM Kevin Lipe @kevinlipe_
Grizzlies letting the Warriors offense have an awful lot of room to operate on the perimeter and pretty clear lanes to the rim. Not sure who they think they’re playing. – 10:24 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Warriors say Gary Payton II (left elbow) will not return to tonight’s game. – 10:24 PM J. Kyle Mann @jkylemann

Bane just can’t pull the quick-trigger 3. He’s had at least a couple of catches that he would normally let rip. – 10:21 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
That’s just ridiculous ball movement from Golden State and a score to get it to one. Tip your cap on that one. – 10:21 PM Adam Lauridsen @GSWFastBreak

“That wasn’t physical that was dirty,” Steve Kerr to @JaredSGreenberg on the first quarter.
He says he believes Draymond Green, who is back in the game, got stitches. – 10:20 PM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Kerr is right, of course. That was dirty. I mean, I didn’t hear him say that about Draymond’s play Sunday. But Dillon’s play was certainly dirty. – 10:20 PM Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Feels like when the Grizzlies don’t get to a 50-50 ball on the Warriors side of the floor it instantly turns into 3 points. – 10:19 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Draymond returns, gets an offensive rebound. Assists a JP 3 – 10:18 PM Austin Krell @NBAKrell
Steve Kerr just kept it blunt during his after-quarter interview: “That wasn’t physical, that was dirty.”
Also believe he told Chris Haynes GPII is at the hospital. – 10:18 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Another play with terrible luck results in a GSW 3. Twice that’s happened now. – 10:18 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron

END OF Q1: Warriors trail the Grizzlies, 33-25. Crazy first 12 minutes. GPII and Draymond still being looked at by trainers in the back. But with Brooks ejected, Curry is finding plenty of open looks. Has 11 points. – 10:15 PM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Grizz lead 33-25. Dillon gone for the night, Draymond and Payton still in the back. #physicality – 10:15 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto

Amazing effort by Steph Curry guarding Melton, he forced that offensive foul on Clarke. – 10:02 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Grizzlies said the 50-50 balls were huge. Everybody dove on that loose ball and it bounces out to Curry wide open for 3.

Two early 3s again for Ja. Again, will end up being a blessing in disguise for Golden State.
Keep chuckin’ young fella – 9:58 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Grizz are going to have big problems guarding Steph without Brooks. And Tillman is also their only big who really understands what needs to be done vs GSW defensively. Looking like a shootout tonight. – 9:58 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
The Grizzlies are getting and will continue to get good looks on 3s. It’s as simple as a make or miss game for them. Golden State is choosing to take away the paint (and it should). Ja Morant has made two 3-pointers. Grizzlies 3-9 on 3-pointers so far. – 9:58 PM Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
Nine of first 13 Grizzlies field-goal attempts have been 3s. Warriors inducing them to shoot long again. – 9:57 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Eight of the Grizzlies first 12 shots are 3-pointers. That’s exactly what Golden State wants. – 9:57 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Bane didn’t get a shot up at all in his first shift, and with Brooks done for the night, that’s a lot of offensive responsibility on Morant and Jackson. – 9:57 PM Rob Perez @WorldWideWob

Grizzlies offense got badly out of whack amid all the chaos and lineup changes. Needs to settle down. Clarke coming in should help. – 9:55 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Kevon Looney scores the Warriors’ first bucket of the game with 8:44 left in the first quarter, then Klay Thompson drills a 3-pointer on the following possession. Grizzlies lead 8-6. – 9:55 PM Jimmy Spencer @JimmySpencer

We have barely played 3 minutes and Dillon Brooks has been ejected and two Warriors have gone to the locker room with injuries. And one of them — Draymond Green — just counted the number of Warriors getting checked on with a finger from each hand. – 9:52 PM Geoff Calkins @geoff_calkins
Draymond, yesterday, talking about playing against friends like Tillman: “The guys you have close relationships with, in a playoff series, they’re going to try to take your head off and you’re going to try to take their head off.” Guess so. – 9:52 PM Law Murray @LawMurrayTheNU
Steve Kerr was ready to cuss Vince Carter out when Patrick McCaw got undercut in Sacramento four years ago, so no shock he gave Dillon Brooks the business for that FF2 – 9:52 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Draymond is now headed to the locker room. – 9:52 PM Eli Savoie @Eli560
Draymond Green with more birds for the fans(2) than Warriors points so far(1) – 9:51 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Draymod walking off the floor with a noticeable limp. Crazy start here in Memphis. Two Golden State players have headed to the locker room with apparent injuries, and Dillon Brooks has been ejected. Little more than three minutes in. – 9:51 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Draymond Green heads to the locker room after getting elbowed in the face by Xavier Tillman Sr. He gave a not so nice finger as he walked to the tunnel. – 9:51 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Draymond Green is going to the locker room with Andre Iguodala behind him. Some commotion in the tunnel as he walks past. Green and Payton both getting checked out in the back. – 9:51 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Draymond Green to the locker room. And it looked like he gave the double birds on the way out. – 9:51 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Draymond Green is heading back to the locker room. Gary Payton II is already back there. – 9:51 PM Wes Goldberg @wcgoldberg
Dillon Brooks was the main defender on Steph. Now Grizzlies going with Melton on that last possession after Brooks’ ejection. Two game-changing ejections in two games. – 9:51 PM Nate Duncan @NateDuncanNBA
Warriors looking like the team that has struggled against Memphis. 4 TOs already, 3 missed shots at the rim. Tillman has two steals. – 9:51 PM Lang Whitaker @langwhitaker
Draymond is heading to the locker room and gave the crowd a double bird salute on the way – 9:51 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Steve Kerr said during shootaround today that this was going to be the most physical game the Warriors have played all year. So far, that’s exactly what it’s been. – 9:50 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Now Draymond Green is down on the baseline. And Steve Kerr is looking at the officiating crew with his hands up. – 9:50 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Draymond Green is down on the floor along the baseline. Being looked at by a team trainer. – 9:49 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews

Gary Payton II to the locker room after taking the two free throws. Draymond Green down and in pain grabbing the right side of his face. Rough start for the Warriors – 9:49 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Oh man now Draymond Green is down. – 9:49 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
After shooting the free throws, GPII heads to the locker room. Looked to be in a bit of a daze after that hard hit by Brooks. – 9:49 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Steve Kerr yells “Get the f–k out of here” toward the Memphis bench after the refs eject Brookes. – 9:48 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
This changes everything from a planning perspective. Dillon Brooks had done solid work on Stephen Curry. De’Anthony Melton and Ziaire Williams will have to be big for Memphis. – 9:48 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Dillon Brooks gets called for a Flagrant 2 for his foul on Gary Payton II and has been ejected. Payton II stepped up to the line and knocked down one of two free throws, and now he’s heading back to the locker room. Jordan Poole checks in to replace him. – 9:48 PM Malika Andrews @malika_andrews
Wow. Less than 3 minutes in and Dillon Brooks is tossed… – 9:48 PM Mark Haynes @markhaynesnba
Dillon Brooks is ejected. – 9:48 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Steve Kerr screaming down at the Memphis bench after that Dillon Brooks foul and ejection: “Get the f*** out of here.” Klay Thompson: “That’s bull****.” As upset as I’ve seen them at a foul. – 9:48 PM Chris Herrington @ChrisHerrington
De’Anthony Melton, welcome to the spotlight. – 9:48 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Dillon Brooks just received a flagrant-2 and has been ejected from the game less than three minutes in. Brooks is the Grizzlies’ best defender on Steph Curry. – 9:47 PM Keith Smith @KeithSmithNBA
What a shitty play by Dillon Brooks. That was awful. Rightfully called a Flagrant 2 and an ejection. – 9:47 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Dillon Brooks gets a flagrant 2 and has been ejected from the game. – 9:47 PM Ben Golliver @BenGolliver

Dillon Brooks has been ejected. Leaving the court. – 9:47 PM Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Be interesting to see how the officials handle this foul on Brooks. Given the way Draymond was handled. – 9:47 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Flagrant 2. Dillon Brooks is ejected – 9:47 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Dillon Brooks has been ejected on a flagrant 2. – 9:47 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Flagrant foul 2 on Dillon Brooks. He is ejected. – 9:47 PM Fred Katz @FredKatz
Draymond gonna whip out his phone and tweet an emoji in-game if this isn’t a flagrant 2 – 9:47 PM Tony Mejia @MejiaDinero
Dillon Brooks’ foul was more flagrant-2 worthy than Draymond Green’s on Sunday. – 9:46 PM Mark Giannotto @mgiannotto
Dillon Brooks might not be long for this game. That’s a bad foul. – 9:46 PM Drew Shiller @DrewShiller
That foul by Dillon Brooks was worse than Draymond’s Flagrant-2 – 9:46 PM Kendra Andrews @kendra__andrews
Gary Payton II falls down hard after Dillon Brookes clobbers him in the head and is getting looked at by a trainer. Steve Kerr is absolutely livid, yelling “that is bulls–t” toward the refs and JJJ. – 9:46 PM Anthony Slater @anthonyVslater
Hard Dillon Brooks foul on Gary Payton II. Looks like Payton really injured his left arm. Steve Kerr yelling at the referees to review it. Steph Curry waving at Brooks. Warriors think he should be ejected. We will see. – 9:46 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Steve Kerr wants a flagrant 2 on Dillon Brooks. – 9:46 PM Austin Krell @NBAKrell
If Draymond gets an F2 for the hit in Game 1, Brooks should definitely get an F2 for that. – 9:46 PM Marc J. Spears @MarcJSpears
Was that for the ball or GPII head? Interesting to see how the ref’s view this. Draymond watching closely. – 9:46 PM Ben Golliver @BenGolliver
Warriors Coach Steve Kerr is irate at hard foul in transition by Dillon Brooks that sent Gary Payton II flying to the court. “Flagrant 2!” he said, after some unprintable comments. – 9:46 PM Connor Letourneau @Con_Chron
Gary Payton II having a hard time getting up after taking a pretty hard hit from Brooks. – 9:45 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Gary Payton II is down after a hard foul and Steve Kerr is LIVID – 9:45 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
Dillon Brooks is probably getting a flagrant for that one. – 9:45 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Three turnovers for the Warriors – 9:45 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Gary Payton II just took a hard fall. He’s hurt. Steve Kerr is pissed. – 9:45 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Not even 3 minutes into the game and the Warriors already have 3 turnovers! – 9:45 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22
Not a great start for the Warriors… – 9:44 PM Lang Whitaker @langwhitaker
This is the first three minute stretch of the Grizzlies postseason without a foul called. Probably. – 9:44 PM Marcus Thompson @ThompsonScribe
Again, back-to-back Grizzlies threes to start the game – 9:44 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
8-0 Grizzlies lead. – 9:44 PM Drew Hill @DrewHill_DM
JJJ and Ja Morant triples to start. WooWeee. Here we go. – 9:43 PM CJ Holmes @CjHolmes22

Desmond Bane (back) will start for the Grizzlies tonight. Memphis head coach Taylor Jenkins said the second-year guard would be a game-time decision. – 9:20 PM Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Your starters for Game 2 of the GSW-Memphis series: GSW: Curry, Thompson, Green, Wiggins and Gary Payton II.
Grizz start: Xavier Tillman, Dillon Brooks, Ja, Jaren, Bane.
Set your fantasy lineups and put down your bets accordingly. – 9:19 PM Clay Bailey @claybailey9
The Xavier Tillman lineup stays intact for Game 2. – 9:16 PM Clay Bailey @claybailey9
Good grief, this is a late start, so here are your officials for Game 2 of the Second round of the GSW-Memphis series: Scott Foster, Eric Lewis and Mitchell Ervin. Your alternate is Scott Twardoswki. Are you awake, @badunclep ?? – 9:16 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors

Ziaire Williams is a big return. John Konchar has been great this season, he didn’t give good minutes in Game 1. Williams is another lengthy defender the Grizzlies can throw at the Warriors’ shooters. – 9:10 PM Memphis Grizzlies @memgrizz

Taylor Jenkins isn’t giving any hints. Bane is a game-time decision, so is Ziaire Williams, and he declined to share his starting lineup. – 7:52 PM Meghan Triplett @Meghan_Triplett
Desmond Bane is a game-time decision, per Coach Jenkins. Jenkins said he tested out this morning and is making progress but they are going to get one final look before the game.
Ziaire Williams is also a game-time decision tonight for the @Memphis Grizzlies. – 7:50 PM Monte Poole @MontePooleNBCS
Re: Desmond Bane – Game-time decision vs Warriors, per Grizzlies coach Taylor Jenkins – 7:48 PM Damichael Cole @DamichaelC
Taylor Jenkins says Desmond Bane is a gametime decision. The team will give it one more look before a decision is made. – 7:48 PM Ohm Youngmisuk @NotoriousOHM
Taylor Jenkins says Desmond Bane is a game-time decision with a back issue. Jenkins says the team will see how Bane is feeling later. – 7:48 PM Golden State Warriors @warriors
