After a pretty poor loss on Monday night, the Golden State Warriors recovered on Wednesday with a game they absolutely needed to win, blowing out the Memphis Grizzlies 137-116. The teams may be rivals when healthy, but with Ja Morant out for the year and Steven Adams traded, Memphis has long-since punted on the season ... meaning anything short of a win would have been an indefensible outcome for the Dubs.
At first they seemed up to the task. The offense was crisp and fluid and the defense locked in as Golden State jumped out to a 13-5 run, forcing the Grizzlies to call an early timeout.
