Gui Santos delivered the game-winning bucket that sealed the Golden State Warriors\u2019 114-113 comeback victory over the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night. After trailing by as many as 17 points, Golden State closed the game on an 11-0 run, fueled by a balanced effort that saw seven Warriors finish in double figures.<\/p>\n

That collective effort showed up on the final possession. Warriors center Al Horford missed the initial attempt but relentlessly battled on the glass, keeping the play alive before Santos stepped in to finish the sequence with the game-winner.<\/p>\n
Following the win, Santos and Horford broke down the chaotic final possession that put Golden State back in the win column.<\/p>\n
Right now, that kind of hustle from a group still working to find its rhythm after a week of injuries, roster changes, and uncertainty around the trade deadline is exactly what Golden State needed.<\/p>\n
They don\u2019t need perfect. They need players willing to dive into chaos and create the kind of momentum the rest of the group can feed off.<\/p>\n

Warriors News:Al Horford shows young Warriors how to get it done in comeback win vs. Grizzlies | NBC Sports Bay Area<\/a><\/p>\n The Grizzlies on the final possession had a 21-year-old, 22-year-old, two 23-year-olds and a 25-year-old on the floor. The Warriors used a 22-year-old, two 23-year-olds, a 27-year-old, and the 39-year-old Horford.<\/p>\n Somehow, the oldest of the bunch was the one outworking his competition to give the Warriors every extra chance at a win.<\/p>\n Horford, with two hands, forcefully secured the ball tipped to him from De\u2019Anthony Melton winning his jump ball, grabbed his missed layup, went to tip it in, and grabbed that as well. Then, he held on to the ball with two Grizzlies swiping at it, fell to the floor, and still found Santos right there for an acrobatic game-winning layup.<\/p>\n Warriors\u2019 Pat Spencer\u2019s rise to the NBA fueled by competitive fire: \u2018I go apes\u2014\u2018 | The Athletic<\/a><\/p>\n The answer was another reminder of why the Warriors took a chance on him in the first place. Spencer plays with a permanent chip on his shoulder. As the team notes in its media guide, this is a man who wears the No. 61 because he wore No. 7 in lacrosse and 6+1=7. And because there are 60 picks in the NBA Draft \u2014 and he was not one of them.<\/p>\n Every night, he has something to prove.<\/p>\n Jimmy Butler underwent successful ACL surgery on Monday<\/a>NBA News:The NBA\u2019s Tank Off Is Here: Who Is the Most Shameless Loser? | The Ringer<\/a><\/p>\n How ethical is the Kings\u2019 tank?\u00a0Fortunately for basketball purists, the Kings have been absolutely awful this season the old-fashioned way: by compounding terrible decision after terrible decision in an effort to cover up previous terrible decisions. Replacing Mike Brown with Doug Christie went just as you would have expected. DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Russell Westbrook never made any sense together. Other leagues relegate teams that display Sacramento\u2019s levels of incompetence. Instead, the NBA will reward the Kings with another opportunity to fumble the bag.<\/p>\n What\u2019s their most blatant tanking method?\u00a0Existing.<\/p>\n What\u2019s their most stealth tanking method?\u00a0Existing.<\/p>\n Four players ejected in Pistons-Hornets brawl<\/a>In case you missed it at Golden State of Mind:Steph Curry will sit out the All-Star Game<\/a><\/p>\n Per Steve Kerr prior to tonight\u2019s game against the Memphis Grizzlies, not only will Curry miss tonight\u2019s tilt and the Golden State Warriors\u2019 game against the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday, he will also sit out the All-Star Game, electing to rest an ailing knee that was diagnosed with \u201cPatellofemoral Pain Syndrome,\u201d more commonly known as \u201crunner\u2019s knee.\u201d<\/p>\n Follow\u00a0@unstoppablebaby<\/a>\u00a0on X for all the latest news on the\u00a0Golden State Warriors.<\/p>\n
