The Warriors’ season came to a screeching halt Friday night as the young Memphis Grizzlies eliminated them from playoff contention in the NBA’s play-in tournament with a 117-112 win at Chase Center. Memphis led throughout the game until the Warriors stormed back in the closing minutes. But the Grizzlies outscored the Warriors 10-3 in the final 90 seconds of overtime, including two clutch floaters from second-year guard Ja Morant to seal the game. Morant finished with 35 points and went shot-for-shot with Steph Curry, who scored 39 despite a defense that was geared entirely around stopping him. Here are some notable quotes from both teams’ postgame press conferences: WARRIORS Steph Curry On feeling after the loss: “What’s that terminology? Moral victories? This is weird because we’re not used to this, but we’re definitely proud of ourselves.” On the fight in the team: “You can talk about the collection guys that were out there this year this last little stretch and what we didn’t have (with injuries), what we lacked, but we did have a lot of heart.” Draymond Green On how far the Warriors are from the playoffs: “We have a ways to go because we’re not in the playoffs. We’re far away. A few tweaks here and there, and we’re not that far.” On Steph Curry: “We just continued to fight and claw. I think what I saw from Steph in the way he grew, not only as a player, but as a leader this year was incredible.” Steve Kerr Reflecting on the season: “We’re really disappointed that we’re not going to get the chance to play in the playoffs. It would’ve been a lot of fun. We made a lot of strides. We’re really excited to see what’s next for this group.” Looking forward: “We’re gonna have some guys coming back who are so much further along than they were in training camp this year, and so our depth is going to improve, and we’ve got some assets… We have a lot of work to do this summer, but we’re all excited.” GRIZZLIES Ja Morant On his play: “Late in that game, you know, I love pressure honestly. I feel like my game rises to another level.” On three-point shooting: “I’m always confident in myself, but give a lot of credit to my coaches and teammates… tonight, after learning how they played me in the first game, I was locked in on that.” Taylor Jenkins On the message to the team: It’s just a proud moment, but as I told them, we gave it everything we had to move on and I know we have more left. #nba #nbahighlights #warriorsvsgrizzlies

BOSTON BRUINS Boston Bruins D Kevan Miller Out For Game 5
#apm369 #StanleyCupPlayoffs #AllCaps Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy confirmed Saturday that defenseman Kevan Miller will not play in the potential series-clinching Game 5 against the Washington Capitals Sunday in Washington DC. “Kevan is back home; spent the night at the hospital; went through a number of tests, feeling a little bit better and that’s what we got,” a clearly perturbed Cassidy said and then gave a blunt and fast ‘Yes’ when asked if Miller is out for Game 5. As for who will replace Miller in the lineup for Game 5? “The only two healthy guys we have are [Jarred] Tinordi and [Urho] Vaakanainen so it will be one of those two,” Cassidy said. Following the 4-1 win by the Boston Bruins over the Capitals in Game 5, Cassidy was much more animated with his frustration over the fact that an opponent was called for a major for leaping into and hitting one of his players, only to see that major be decreased to a double-minor for roughing. “What happened there is their guy left his feet borderline late and drove right under his chin,” a baffled and ticked-off Cassidy said during his postgame Zoom with the media Friday night. “He told me skating by that when they reviewed it that they felt [Orlov] made contact first to his upper body, but it didn’t look that way to my vantage point. Kevan is in the hospital undergoing some CTs and until he gets back, we won’t know anything there. It’s obviously frustrating to watch that review and the [major penalty] call go by the wayside. It was essentially a two-minute minor and then later you watch that [interference] penalty assessed to Marchand and it’s just a complete head-scratcher sometimes on what’s a two-minute penalty. But we played through it and we need to take care of our business, and [the officials] need to take care of their business. I didn’t see it the way they did and it’s unfortunate for Kevin, but we’ll see how he is.” #AllCaps D Dmitry Orlov launching himself into #NHLBruins D Kevan Miller and connecting with the head. Miller, dazed and in pain leaves the game. #StanleyCupPlayoffs
