The Memphis Grizzlies delivered a stunning 51-point victory over the Golden State Warriors, marking a significant turnaround from their previous matchup. This game was particularly notable for the debut of guard Dennis Schroder with the Warriors.

Controversy surrounded the teams after their last encounter, where Draymond Green's foul on rookie Zach Edey sparked criticism from Grizzlies head coach Taylor Jenkins. Following the win, Edey expressed that the team was motivated to respond to Green's comments.

In a historic low for Green, he recorded a -42 plus/minus rating in under 20 minutes, failing to contribute any points, rebounds, or assists.
