The Warriors returned home from a five-game road trip and shot 38.5 percent from the floor in a 110-102 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night at Chase Center.
Despite shooting just 33 percent and being down 54-47 by the end of the first half, the Warriors mounted third quarter omeback to work their way to within one point of the Grizzlies with 6:47 left in the frame. However, Memphis went on a 20-8 run from that point on to expand their lead and eventually deal the Warriors the loss in their first game back.
