The Golden State Warriors secured their spot in the NBA playoffs as the No. 7 seed by defeating the Memphis Grizzlies 121-116 in a thrilling play-in game, led by Steph Curry’s 37 points and Jimmy Butler’s 38 points. Despite losing a 20-point lead and facing a third-quarter surge from Memphis, Curry’s late-game heroics, including two crucial three-pointers and perfect free-throw shooting, propelled the Warriors to victory. Notably, the Warriors’ bench outperformed the Grizzlies’, with impactful contributions from Gary Payton II and rookie Quinten Post.
