Verizon Game Rewind | Dubs Lose Late in Grind-it-Out Game Against Grizzlies - March 20, 2021

If Friday’s matchup was not hard enough with a short-handed roster as Warriors missed action, Saturday’s game became that much more difficult as starting center Kevon Looney had to sit out due to NBA Health & Safety Protocols. Though the undermanned Dubs hung with the Memphis Grizzlies as best they could, they eventually fell 111-103 Saturday night on the road. Nobody would expect a team to have a chance at winning, let alone competing in a game, after shooting 20 percent from the field in the first quarter and then 41 percent each of the next two, but that is what the Warriors did. Despite shooting 34.4 percent on the night, the Dubs held the Grizzlies to an equally rough 38.9 percent night from the field. The squad was never down by more than 11 points through the game as they hung with the Grizzlies to the very last minute. Despite the odds stacked against them, the Warriors showed a level of tenacity through the second half that Dub Nation can take pride in as they attempted to steal this game.
