In the Memphis Grizzlies last game, a loss on Sunday to the Denver Nuggets, they were outscored 44-17 in the second quarter. So the Warriors, smart folks that they are, decided to follow the blueprint that Denver had provided.
It worked. The Warriors used a 23-2 run in the second quarter to turn a close game into a big lead. A 33-16 win in the second frame provided the cushion needed to ride out the second half, and win 114-95.
In their last two second quarters, the Grizzlies have been outscored 77-33.
