There was an injury to a star player, a 20-point deficit erased and a masterclass fourth quarter from Stephen Curry.

The Golden State Warriors outlasted the Memphis Grizzlies on Tuesday night in the 2025 NBA Play-In Tournament to secure the No. 7 seed and a date with the No. 2 Houston Rockets in the first round of the postseason.

In the 121-116 victory, newly-acquired Warriors forward Jimmy Butler led all players with 38 points, though Curry wasn’t far behind, pouring in 15 of his 37 points in the final period.
