The team now faces the Memphis Grizzlies. Although the Warriors are rolling, the Grizzlies can't be taken lightly. They have talented youngsters such as Ja Morant, Desmond Bane and Dillon Brooks, who have all proven their capabilities this season.
Even though Morant struggled to score at his usual rate against the Timberwolves, the rest of the team stepped up. The Grizzlies proved they were a formidable opponent for the Warriors as they won three out of their four regular-season matchups.
