Where the Warriors’ loss to the Grizzlies ranks in franchise history first appeared on NBC Sports Bay Area
To put it simply, the Warriors were smoked like barbecue ribs by the Memphis Grizzlies on Thursday night.
In fact, Golden State’s 144-93 defeat at FedExForum ranks as one of the worst in the franchise’s eight-year history.
The 51-point margin is told the fourth-worst loss ever by warriors, both on the road and in the net. And if it wasn’t for Brandin Podziemski’s last-minute layup at the final buzzer, it would have tied for the second-worst loss.
In addition, Thursday’s blowout marks the the biggest dream of defeat of the 2024-25 NBA season — by any party.
If there is a bright side for Golden State, though, it’s not even the worst loss of 2024; The Boston Celtics’ 52-point win back in March keeps of honor.
Except for the 2021 loss to the Toronto Raptors — in which neither Steph Curry nor Draymond Green was happy – each of the other three losses on the list came to the last NBA champion in that season. Maybe that’s good for the Grizzlies this year?
Back to Curry and Green, this is the first time of those The duo has been held ever since without a field goal in a game that both players play in.
In another career first, Curry had never failed to make a field goal in a game in which he had logged at least 12 minutes until Wednesday night. Them Warriors star guard finished with just two points (both from the free-throw line) on 0-of-7 shooting from the field.
So, yeah, not a great night for Golden State.
