The Golden State Warriors faced a staggering defeat against the Memphis Grizzlies, losing by 51 points. This game marked the debut of Dennis Schroder, who was traded from the Brooklyn Nets and placed in the starting lineup alongside key players like Steph Curry and Draymond Green.

Head coach Steve Kerr acknowledged the mistake of having Green come off the bench, a move that was intended to boost Jonathan Kuminga's performance. However, with the Warriors struggling in Green's absence, Kerr recognized the need to start him to enhance the team's defense.
