Without Morant, can the Grizzlies still be able to stop the Warriors? The outside world is unanimously not optimistic about them, but in the G4 game of the two-team series, the Grizzlies almost won the game, but unfortunately failed to withstand in the last minute, coupled with Curry's outbreak, the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 101-98, the big score became 3-1, and the Warriors got the game point in advance.
In the last game, Morant was injured and could not play in this game, and Jones took the lead. In addition, Jenkins also made adjustments to the starting lineup, and Adams returned to the starting lineup, sending out the twin tower lineup. This change is also effective, coupled with the Warriors' outside feel sluggish, the Grizzlies also occupy the initiative on the court, the inside line also frequently score points, but unfortunately they have not been able to open the point difference, but in the second half to establish a 12-point lead, but the Warriors soon narrowed the point difference and completed the reversal at the last minute.
The Grizzlies are quite sorry to lose this time, taking the lead from the beginning until the 47th minute of the game, the Grizzlies are the leading side, and have not been behind before. But in the final 46 seconds, Brooks knocked down Curry and put the latter on the free throw line, making both free throws, and the Grizzlies made 93-94, the first time they fell behind in this game. Suddenly behind, coupled with the absence of Morant, the Grizzlies are also a bit lost, Jackson's throw missed, Bane pushed Curry again, the latter once again hit two free throws, the victory balance has fallen the Warriors.
In this way, the Grizzlies led by 47 minutes, but collapsed in the last minute, which was also a big blow to them. What could have been a 2-2 draw has now become 1-3 behind, and every game that follows is a life-and-death battle, and once lost, it will be out, which will end the season.
The Grizzlies had five players in double figures, Jackson had 21 points, five rebounds and five blocks, Jones had 19 points, six rebounds and five assists, Brooks had 12 points, five rebounds and eight assists, and Anderson on the bench had 17 points, eight rebounds and two blocks. It can be said that their performance is very good, and they are really a little bit worse than victory. This should have been a good opportunity for them, after all, the Warriors only shot 9 of 37 three-pointers in the game.
After the game, the Grizzlies' referee turned his finger at the referee, believing that Jackson's three-point shot in the final moment, fouled by Warriors Green, should be given 3 free throws. Jenkins said: "That three-point shot may have been a bit of a rush, but there was contact at the time.
