Pre-Game 3: Familiar Territory

Game 2 against the resurgent Memphis Grizzlies was the only game this season where the Warriors shot under 42% from the field, shot under 25% from behind the three-point arc and had 20 or more turnovers.  For a team that thrives on creating good shots with ball movement, it was a nightmare scenario and a strong contender for the worst of the year.  The Grizzlies deserve credit for throwing a Tony Allen-sized wrench in the Warriors’ offense.  But the Warriors also didn’t do themselves any favors with their loose execution and reversion away from their motion offense.  How much of Game 2′s struggles were Memphis’ doing and how much were were the Warriors’ own fault?
