The Grizzlies won the game by outscoring Golden State 28-15 in the final period, shooting 70.5 For the first three quarters, the Warriors appeared to be the ones in line for the playoffs, instead of hoping for good draft position.
The game started pretty ugly. The Warriors missed nine of their first 10 shots, and both teams ended the first quarter hitting 9 of 24 from the field.
The offense picked up in the second as Lee was effective for the Warriors, while Memphis was relying on balanced scoring.
Lee's basket with 2.4 seconds left in the half gave him 14 points and tied the game at 50 at the break.
Conley, who hit 5 of 7 shots including 2 of 3 outside, had 12 for Memphis. The Warriors complete the lead to nine in the middle stages of the third as the Grizzlies continued to look exhausted Mayo hit back-to-back 3-pointers to pull Memphis close, but Robinson answered with consecutive long-range jumpers to provide the Warriors a buffer.
That helped Golden State carry a 79-70 lead into the final quarter, and a 3-pointer by Rush on the Warriors' early possession of the fourth gave them the first double-digit lead of the game.
