"Grizzlies running the Warriors out of the damn gym": Ja Morant less Memphis humiliate Golden State and Steve Kerr cannot take it anymore

The Grizzlies ran through the Warriors once again, leaving Steve Kerr fuming and Ja Morant dancing.

The Golden State Warriors struck an iceberg as they searched for their second victory in 7 games and visited FedExForum on Monday to face the Memphis Grizzlies. While the Dubs are desperately attempting to find their way without Stephen Curry, the Grizzlies are playing surprisingly well without Ja Morant.

They are now 18-2 without him in the line-up. While the Memphis team is on a 5-0 run without their MVP candidate, the Warriors are 1-6, including this 123-95 thumping against the Grizzlies. And it’s clearly showing in coach Steve Kerr’s behavior of late.

The man was livid throughout the 2nd quarter as the Grizzlies made a 22-point cushion after just a 4-point lead from the first quarter. He went off on the referees close to the end of the half, for which he was first given a technical. But then he went full Kerr mode and asked for more.

Steve Kerr gets ejected, Ja Morant dances, and NBA Twitter goes berserk

With a 26-point deficit and short of, Curry and Kerr, the sole proprietors of the team, the Warriors succumbed under pressure and let the Grizzlies run with that lead and more, to victory without much resistance.

NBA Twitter also went off on Kerr with both Grizzlies and Warriors fans going berserk while their teams perform polar opposites to each other in their MVP guards’ absence.

This loss further widens the gap to 5-games between the two teams for 2nd and 3rd seed, and the Warriors will most certainly not get their spot back with just 6-games to go.
