MEMPHIS — Guard D’Angelo Russell’s return wasn’t enough to help the Warriors end their longest losing streak of what is on track to become their losingest season in 19 years.
With their 122-102 loss to the Grizzlies on Saturday at the FedEx Forum, the Warriors (9-32) dropped their eighth straight game, surpassing their previous longest losing streak of the season.

After being sidelined the last six games with a right shoulder contusion, Russell returned and added some much-needed scoring to a team that entered Sunday with the worst-rated offense in the league. He scored 18 points in the first half, and his finger-roll layup through traffic gave Golden State a three-point lead with less than five minutes before halftime.
