Before today's game, Dillon spoke in an interview about the situation he might face today, saying, "I love being booed by fans at my opponents, and I don't care about the over-hype that Warriors fans have been over hyping me up lately!" Of Warriors coach Kerr's "cross-line theory," Dillon said: "I don't even know what that means! ”
When introducing the Grizzlies' starters to the game before the game, Dillon was greeted with deafening boos from Warriors fans.

Fortunately, Dillon sent 4 assists to help the team stabilize the situation.
In the final quarter, Dillon hit a key three-pointer. In the final moments of the game, Dillon first missed three points, and then the defensive end fouled Curry, who made two free throws, and the Grizzlies were overtaken by the Warriors. In the end, the Grizzlies lost the game 98:101, and Dillon's attack and defense became a defeat at a critical moment.
Throughout the game, Dillon played 39 minutes, shooting just 5 of 19, including 2 of 9 from three-point range, and only had 12 points, 5 rebounds, 8 assists and 4 turnovers.
