The Golden State Warriors entered Tuesday night's game against the Memphis Grizzlies looking for a strangle hold of the series. They won Game 1 in dramatic fashion, with Stephen Curry coming up with a huge block and steal, Klay Thompson knocked down a clutch triple, and Ja Morant missed the game-winning layup at the buzzer.

Early in Game 2, Grizzlies small forward Dillon Brooks was ejected after earning a Flagrant 2 following a hard foul on Gary Payton II. The Warriors guard also left the game and was ruled out for the rest of Game 2. That's certainly far from the ideal scenario for either the Warriors or Grizzlies.

Just minutes later, Warriors superstar Draymond Green to a shot to the face and hit the deck.

Green took an elbow to the face from Grizzlies center Xavier Tillman, which left him bloodied heading to the locker room late in the first quarter and Green is yet to return to the court. On his way, Green flipped the bird to Grizzlies fans.

Green spent quite some time in the locker room, but later returned in the second quarter.

Prior to the game, Warriors head coach Steve Kerr spoke with the media. He let them know that he fully expected the Grizzlies to bring a lot of physicality to this game. He was obviously spot on with that assumption.

The Grizzlies depth will be tested without Brooks. Small forward Kyle Anderson and power forward Brandon Clarke are likely to see more minutes than they are accustomed. Meanwhile, the Warriors' Jordan Poole will likely get all the minutes he can handle.
