Memphis was able to claim victory over a Golden State

Last year, the Warriors won the NBA title by defeating the Grizzlies in the Western Conference playoffs. In the lead-up to Thursday’s game, Draymond Green of Golden State and Dillon Brooks of Memphis were at odds.
The two men got into a heated argument in the second quarter that threatened to spill over into Thursday’s game, which ended with them being separated by a referee.
Last week, Brooks caused controversy by expressing his dislike for Green and the Warriors, saying,“I don’t like Draymond at all. I just don’t like Golden State. However, Brooks and Memphis won the match by a wide margin, and they came out on top.
Brooks stated to an on-court interviewer from broadcaster TNT, “We’ve had a rough couple of weeks, but we’ve got dogs on our team,” before adding, You ought to give that microphone to Draymond so that he can continue to compliment me and improve my playing.
Steve Kerr, the Warriors coach, regretted his team’s first-quarter tactical error of starting four guards.
We were hoping to get some good shots early, but we didn’t. We took some really tough, quick shots because we were impatient.
We probably got a little too cute with that, in hindsight. However, we are as we are. Bobby Portis led the Bucks scorers with 28 focuses while Creek Lopez added 24 and Grayson Allen 19.
Early in the second quarter, the Bucks took a 22-point lead, but Brooklyn fought back and got within two points with less than a minute left. With a 48-18 record, Milwaukee prevailed and now leads the East by 2.5 games over the Boston Celtics.
