Warriors Surge Past Grizzlies, 113-101
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Memphis Grizzlies, 113-101, at Chase Center on Sunday afternoon.

The two squads were playing for the No. 8 seed on the regular season's final day, and given the stakes, it was fitting the Warriors (39-33) held just a one-point lead through one tightly contested quarter. Golden State did gain a bit of breathing room in the second by adding five points to its advantage, and when they tacked on another 11 during the third period, it seemed the hosts were on their way to a comfortable win. However, the Grizzlies (38-34) fought back to open the fourth quarter, going on a 28-9 run over the first 7:11 of the period to to take a brief 97-95 lead. However, that would be the final edge Memphis would hold, as the Dubs turned the tables with the help of laser-sharp three-point shooting from Stephen Curry to finish on an 18-4 run of their own and notch the double-digit win they'd appeared destined for earlier in the contest.

Jonas Valanciunas led the way with a 29-point, 16-rebound double-double that also included one assist and one steal. Dillon Brooks furnished 18 points, six assists and two rebounds but fouled out after 30 minutes. Ja Morant supplied 16 points, nine assists, three rebounds and one steal. Jaren Jackson registered 14 points, seven rebounds, two assists, three steals and two blocks. Kyle Anderson managed 10 points, five rebounds, four assists, two steals and one block.

Curry paced the Warriors with 46 points, adding nine assists, seven rebounds, one steal and one block. Andrew Wiggins generated a 21-point, 10-rebound double-double that included one steal and one block. Jordan Poole delivered 15 points, three rebounds, one assist and two steals. Draymond Green furnished 14 points, nine rebounds, nine assists, two blocks and one steal. Juan Toscano-Anderson netted 11 points, three rebounds, one assist and two steals.

The Grizzlies head back home to face the No. 10-seeded San Antonio Spurs in the first game of the play-in tournament, while the Warriors' next game will come on the road against whichever of the Trail Blazers or Lakers finishes as the No. 7 seed.
