On Saturday night, many expected the Golden State Warriors to have an easy win against the shorthanded Memphis Grizzlies. However, Marc Gasol, Tony Allen, and company had other plans.

The veteran duo scored 19 points each in a balanced team effort and blew out the defending Western Conference champions, 110-89, shocking the entire NBA. The Warriors entered the night with a league-best 20-3 win-loss slate, powered by their high-octane offense, but the Grizzlies played tough defense the whole game and held them to a season-low in points.

After the match, Warriors star point guard Stephen Curry was asked about the reason that caused them to play their worst game of the season so far. He admitted that everything was a problem last night, but kept his belief that the team will bounce back from it soon.
