The Warriors demonstrated a remarkable shooting performance that left fans at the Chase Center exhilarated. Golden State's field goal percentage was an outstanding 58 percent, with their three-point attempts finding the net at an almost equally impressive rate of 49 percent. The team's efficiency on offense was reflected in their points tally as they amassed a total of 137 points throughout the game.


Golden State's bench played a pivotal role contributing a significant 63 points to the team's total. This depth proved too much for Memphis as they struggled to keep pace with the relentless scoring from both starters and reserves of the Warriors. Moreover, Golden State capitalized on turnovers efficiently by adding 22 points off them.

On defense, Golden State also outperformed Memphis by blocking five shots and stealing possession six times. Their defensive efforts were instrumental in limiting Memphis to just five fast break points and maintaining control throughout most of the game – leading for over three-quarters of playtime.


Memphis did put up resistance with notable performances including sinking 18 three-pointers at a respectable rate of 37 percent and dominating second-chance opportunities by scoring 27 second-chance points. However, this wasn't enough against Golden State’s robust defense which held them to only five points off turnovers.
