Chris Mullin & Ezeli react Curry reaches 300 3-pts record fifth time, Warriors Win Grizzlies 137-116

All night long here on Toyota Warriors postgame live here at the gate house at Thrive city with the Hall of Famer Chris Wellen NBA champion FES ail I am Bon Hill and the Warriors it was 5858 they go on a 10-0 run before the half they

Come out in the third quarter and blow this one away overall a 316 run and go up 25 in that third play I think tonight Bonte Jonathan kaminga put everyone on notice this is a game where the Warriors really had a bad taste after losing to the New York Knicks last game you’re

Against going against a Memphis Grizzlies team that’s short-handed depleted and they’re going to come out they’re going to play hard and Jonathan kaminga really Rose to the occasion I don’t know how many dunks he had tonight probably at least 10 but his energy really Rose and really took everyone else to the

Next level especially offensively yeah we said pregame the Memphis was the last in scoring the NBA get up and down up tempo run run them out of the building which is they need a really good a fiood win uh 40 what they have 43 assists and

58 made field goals 19 made threes so offensively everything was clicking and they needed a game like this to get their confidence back and only seven turnovers F he fa so they took care of the basketball despite only having six free throw attempts tonight just seven turnovers for the goto State Warriors

Only gave up five points off those turnovers and 43 assist that ball was hopping moving all over the place the bench is special Chris Paul Klay Thompson TJ D everyone coming into the game really making their impact felt all right Speaking of Chris Paul let’s go

Back inside the chase to talk to CP3 Chris Paul who has a season high and assist with 14 assists his fifth double double of the Season Chris welcome to Toyota Warriors postgame live mly fezy Bonte here and let’s start off like this cuz the home record has been a topic of

Conversation around here can you figure out what’s been going at home with you guys as you guys just improved to 18 and 18 inside the chase center it’s hard to hear you but uh I heard you say something about our home record which hasn’t been too good but you know we we

We trying to get it better here going down the stretch we know we haven’t been as good as we like to be here at home but we know we got to keep stacking up wins as much as possible so it’s good to get this win tonight um cuz we need it

CP your connection with the big fella just like every other big fow you play with you keep making these guys better and better talk about the Improvement of Trace Jackson Davis and how he’s his his his play has really impacted the team so far man I I appreciate Trace just like a

Lot of my other uh big guys over the years cuz I know it can be a lot but it’s just uh I just try to make the game simple for him you know it’s a a lot of screening and rolling and just setting it at the right angle and uh I might not

Be might not be the best but I know what to do in those situations so I know that it it opens up things for him myself and everybody else on the team no you’re one one of the best ever Christopher Paul Chris I want to talk to you about the

Mindset of the team we’ve seen some high level basketball we know how loaded the West is moving forward are you guys focused on seating or the brand of basketball that you guys are playing come playoff time I think we focused on us man you know like if we focus on us

Everything else will take care of itself coach is always harping on what he thinks our team is capable of and we talked about it at halftime you saw when Dre got that Tech you saw the way that the energy changed in the game with JK and our defensive intensity I think if

We can channel that and and bring that to the table more often we’ll be just fine seven players in double figures tonight you guys score 137 to go on that monster 220 run Chris Paul get some rest we’ll see you Friday night get the Pacers all right appreciate y’all thank

You time thank you Chris Chris Paul here with a season High Time 14 assist 12 points five of eight from the floor and the way he conducts that second unit like a m sure you got Klay Thompson running off the screens Chas Jackson Davis dive into the basket that second

Unit is deadly there with Chris Paul and Klay Thompson in the back court with Chris Paul and Klay Thompson two Hall of Famers coming off the bench for the Warriors that second unit comes into the game with a different level of swagger they are scoring at will they have Klay

Thompson coming off the wing while tjd is diving to the rim Chris Paul’s throwing the lob to him or coming off for that mid-range shot it’s really special to see that bench continue to gel that chemistry continue to form and it really helps this team especially in

Games when they need energy they come in with that defensive pressure defensive intensity and they take the game to the next level Chris Paul is really the leader of that bench and he’s doing the great job so far yeah he’s going to go down as one of the greatest point guards

Of all time because of his assist turnover ratio uh his incredible mid-range game but what’s really happened now I think with with the second unit and we talked pregame about this what you want from your second unit is a different style of play you know so

When the when the starters get off to a good start or even if they don’t when Chris Paul and Klay Thompson and tjd come in it’s a whole different def uh defensive strategy for the opponent you’re not playing against the same type of uh Tempo and strategy as the starters

Um so you know Chris Paul has been the spearhead of that and I think he’s played really well all season long in the beginning of the Season it wasn’t turning into wins now all of a sudden you know that 14 and four run that Warriors went on he spearheaded a lot of

That yeah no doubt about that and he spearheaded helped spearhead the 22 nothing run at the Warriors went on now it started in the first half it was a 5858 basketball game and now dama was hitting everything scored 21 in the first half and had the three ball

Rolling but the Warriors ended the first half with the 10 run and then they came out the third quarter and Blitz the and they just blew them out of the water with an overall 22 nothing run it was a 316 run fezy fell and the Warriors found themselves up 25 Midway through the

Third quarter they just found ways to get stops and they just ran fast breaks the key to the Grizzlies game tonight was stopping the Warriors in the fast break and tonight the Warriors did such a great job when they got stops to run the the the fast break points tonight

Was Warriors 20 Grizzlies three that means that the Warriors really controlled the tempo especially when they were able to get those stops and get those rebounds you see Draymond pushing the pace you see JK out in the passing Lanes Chris Paul pushing the ball up these are the things that the

Warriors need to keep getting better at as they make this push here towards the end of the season yeah what the Warriors did was they they maintained their offensive potency throughout the entire game the Grizzlies couldn’t keep up the grizly made 12 threes in the first half

You know and they kept the game close but you said Bonte between the second and third quarter the Warriors overpowered them with Dynamic scoring uh andeci said fast break points and points off turnovers they dominated them yeah the fast break points we saw a lot of Jonathan kaminga believe he had seven

Dunks tonight could have been six out on the break just said felt like 12 right he was baller today 12 of 177 26 points five rebounds his ninth 20-point game in his excuse me ninth uh 20-point game in his last 12 tries in his 22nd 20-point game of the season he’s just an

Automatic he’s a consistent NBA player at this point we should not be surprised by these numbers well any player whether it’s a veteran young player the first thing you want to do is see the ball go in the basket so if you’re going to get seven dunks you’re going to have big

Time confidence and all of a sudden the three Ball’s going to fall the mid-range is going to be there uh but those nice easy dunks the driv to the basket really got Jonathan going tonight he his different the versatility that drama kaminga brings is the ability to post up

The ability to defend but his pace is the thing that really stands out when you watch the game when he gets the ball on the fast break you can’t stop him going downhill that’s why it’s so important for the Warriors to get stops and also Jonathan kaminga is showing you

Versatility to his offensive game now it’s the three-point shot it’s the mid-range and that right there takes pressure off of guys like Steph Curry because now they work in tendem that space that Steph is creating Jonathan kingue is filling in that space and he’s doing such a great job to to creating

More more attention so other guys can also go off you know what’s refreshing after baskets or after misses they’re really pushing that ball ahead with the throw ahead to Jonathan like you said fesus he’s running wide lanes for layups that’s old school that’s like Bernard King call Malone type stuff yeah no

Doubt about that and you mentioned the three-point shot two of three from the three-point line being selective but efficient from Beyond The Ark and speaking of efficiency Andrew wig tonight look a lot of talk on Monday night against the New York Knicks had a rough game against the Knicks just say

Put it kindly here but Andrew Wiggins came out aggressively he was aggressive in the first half he finished with 22 points 46 from the three-point line you saw aggressiveness you saw assertiveness and fezy fell this could be the key down the stretch is getting number 22 rolling

Here on both ends of the floor Andrew Wiggins tonight was was amazing his aggressiveness was exactly what the Warriors needed and there’s no better indication of his aggressiveness than six off offive rebounds that’s right Andrew Wiggins that two-way weeks that we talk about defending being aggressive

On the offensive end he’s a guy that when he plays alongside Jonathan kaminga where we talking about earlier when those two guys are rolling it’s really hard to stop this Warriors team because they’re such Dynamic athletes that they can shoot over the top of a lot of the

Guys that guard him Andrew Wiggins was doing a great job of crashing the boards hitting those short shots you saw one right there when he comes off the ball screen been able to just make the defense respect you there on the court Andre Wiggins can do this all night long

I love love to see the aggressiveness tonight yeah aggressive um I thought he very very uh into the game you see the 10 rebound that’s usually indicator for Andrew Wiggins you know he’s going to get mismatches in the post he’s going to get his fast share of transition points

When he’s knocking down the open three but Bon you you know to me I don’t think it’s it’s a an X Factor or an if he has to play at this level for the Warriors to have any success moving forward for the regular for the rest of the season

And into the playoffs what they better individual Defenders he can finish at the rim and in four six or the three-point line you need all you need all that from Andrew Wiggins moving forward here over the next 14 games and Klay Thompson what about Klay Thompson

Ever since he made that move to the bench he’s been on fire here mly Klay Thompson tonight Off the Bench N9 of 18 5 of 11 from the three-point line 23 big points he has been hooping he’s found his rhythm he has a nice en he has nice

Energy with Chris Paul he has a good report with Trace Jackson Davis Klay Thompson’s playing some high level basketball and he’s made that adjustment so seamlessly M no question and Bonte we said it all season long if you get him open this is Kay Thompson you know typical Klay Thompson going to knock

Down all these open shots I love his activity off the ball the chemistry with Chris Paul to me is so important uh not just getting clay shots of course that’s a big part of it he’s the focal point of that second unit he’s going to get multiple looks on each possession but

When he gets rolling it opens up the interior for tjd and then all of a sudden that second unit’s really impossible to guard I I thought Klay did a great job tonight for of coming off screens being patient being a decoy in some place for guys to get to the rim

Like tjd getting lobs from Chris Paul and then on the next time around guys go with tjd Klay Thompson’s right there on the wing wide open I I just think that that the versatility we keep talking about about the bench that just got so much better the bench got so much deeper

When Klay Thompson got there so about that got now klay’s played 12 games off the bench he’s averaging 20 points per game shooting 40 475 from the field and 45 from the three is that good 45 yeah in this day and age it’s about 40 million a year no that’s excellent in

Cas you’re wondering no no doubt about that he’s going to get paid the all season with numbers like that and he’s still getting his minutes playing 25 minutes and 21 seconds yeah pay we want clay we want 2% we want 2% man or right long time long time season guys fact no

It is a fact he will get paid shooting is the most valuable one of the most valuable entities in the yeah and with the space and pacing come on man I I’m not going to disagree with you there the ball needs to go in the Bas right and

You need Shooters we figured it out you got a good shooter here speaking the shooter Stephen Curry tonight look he took a back to Andrew wigg took a back seat to Jonathan kamga Chris Paul to Klay Thompson didn’t need to shoot he only shot nine times tonight but he did

Make his 300 threp pointer he’s had five seasons in which he’s made over 300 threes it’s happened seven times in NBA history he holds five of those Seasons there four seven for the three-point line three assists 14 points the gravity of Stephan Curry was definitely important tonight but he had help from

His teammates tonight Fey well if the team has 43 assists and seven turnovers that means the ball is moving and when the ball is moving part of the thing that helps this Warriors team get so so many easy baskets is Steph Curry’s activity you might have see nine shots

Right there but you missed the back screens you see you missed the the screens for Jonathan kaminga to get to the rim and there’s so much attention being paid to Steph Curry that a lot of guys get to have free shots at the basket you get to get easy layups at the

Rim and the Warriors out scor the Memphis Grizzly by 20 in the paint those are the things those are the effects of Steph Curry obviously you know Steph he can get a shot any night but the thing that makes him so dangerous is the fact that he might not score but his

Teammates are scoring because of him being on the floor yeah look Steph’s having another incredible season his efficiency numbers off the charts you know just like he has the last you know his entire career especially during his MVP he’s having an MVP type uh season statistically I think his comments last

Game and that’s why I asked Chris Paul my question what are you f focused on are you focused on seating or how your team is playing and the think F back screens and his his um gravity off the basketball those things are true the other thing Steph brings each and every

Night is passion and joy someone has to bring that with him and I think that’s where Steph tonight I think he would be pleased with his teammates but this has to be a constant for the next 14 games into the playoffs and it starts with Indiana you got to follow this up right

The mark of a consistent team is following up big wins with another one and Indiana is going to come in here Friday night M looking for payback from what happened in Indianapolis when the Warriors ran him off the floor here so that’s the next step for this team Fe

Stacking some wins here building a winning streak going into the playoffs Well Steph said that after the last game we just have to be consistent we’re not worried about the seating we’re not worried about how we where we fall in the ranks because we feel like we can

Beat anyone we see so each one of these games now is kind of like a playoff atmosphere it’s a playoff game because you don’t want to lose these games and when you win you move up in the standings at least you have the potential to move up in the standings so

Every night they’re going to face a tough battle and you got to use that to your advantage in some way to get better for the playoffs and the paces are the polar opposite the memph Memphis Grizz with 30th in scoring Indiana’s number one yeah they love to get up and down

They got a lot of High Flyers there with the Indiana Pacers that’ be a gun fun game on Friday here at Chase Center as the Warriors will wrap up their three- game home stand but in the meantime we to get back to the form you’re at when

You’re winning 14 games and 18 contest fezy absolutely you’re the Warriors are focused on winning and the you you’re nervous every time you lose a game because you have Houston right behind you Houston has won six games in a row eight and two of the last 10 so they’re

Chasing right behind and in front of you you have the Lakers right there who are tied and you really can catch up to the Lakers the Suns the Dallas Mavericks and maybe the six spot that’s that’s something that the Warriors are still eyeing right there so I am thinking

About this playoffs and this playin situation because you have LeBron James Luca donic and Kyrie Irving you have Kevin Durant and Steph Curry and the trio here with the Golden State Warriors All In The Box just shows you how tough the West is right now yeah like Chris

Paul said postgame I think they’re focused on themselves getting back to playing Championship brand of basketball and when you think about the Warriors you think about energy effort when you’re playing small you got to play fast so tonight they get 100 field goals attempts they make 58 uh fast break

Points 20 to3 so that’s energy effort capitalizing on your good defense points off turnover 22 to5 so all the the hustle points are there the executions there 43 assists just what five turnovers yep seven turnover seven turnovers so those are all good numbers yes it was against a depleted Memphis

Team but you have to St playing your brand of basketball and then take it to the Indiana Paces on Friday and then as you said Bonte then all of a sudden you got to win those games in between the Dallas and Lakers games to make them worth even more I totally agree with

That as we take a look at our Toyota fan pole question of the day we asked War your Feds how many wins will the Warriors how many games will they win over the remaining 15 well tonight they got one and 42% of the fan base said they’re going to get either anywhere

Between 9 to 11 wins over the next 15 now if they win 11 that means an 114 record over 15 games 31% says 6 to8 wins 27% Philly really got the btic said they’re going to win at least 12 of the remaining 15 games so I like the

Optimism there but again what mully’s been saying here feell handle your own business when you’re playing like this you get Draymond Green Dro dropping nearly a triple double 10 points 12 rebounds and seven assists and you get seven players and double figures that is Warriors basketball I don’t care who

It’s against but Jay M green look he picked up a technical maybe brought some energy to the building with that technical there as he got a to with Al dama and of course Dev Bane but all allaround solid night for him 10 points 12 rebounds seven assists now how’s the

Back holding up we saw him Grimace a couple times here will obviously monitor that injury but Draymond Green plays some good basketball today fezy yeah you saw this is a typical Draymond Green stat line right here you got 10 points 12 rebounds a double double seven

Assists a guy who’s making plays but I like the aggressiveness you know running the floor running the lanes uh pushing the pace you saw that that face right there came after Draymond Green pushed the pace faked out Clay on the wing and the defender went out there he went to

Shot the layup I love when Draymond Green is aggressive like he is because then he can make plays for his teammates and that’s a guy that you need to be on the floor the back issue is something that needs to be monitored obviously it’s good that he’s on the floor right

Now for the team and that back isue need to be monitored because Draymond Green does so much for this basketball team and creating great shots and that defensive pressure it brings to the team yeah I think the number one offensively is pushing the pace I thought Draymond

Did a great job tonight you know he after makesa misses getting the ball up the floor as fast as possible you know hitting the open man on the wings but you think about that starting line with Andrew Wiggins and Jonathan kaminga two two of the best athletes on the roster

Uh psky who’s a young player Dynamic you know full of energy and in Steph who’s always moving out the basketball that team has to play fast we talked about how the second unit they’ve got everything situated they got their chemistry it’s really on the the starters now to come out and dictate

That style of play the the pace of play the tempo and then the the the bench comes in and picks up from there they’ve got they’ve got to play fast I thought tonight was a good a good example of what they need to do moving forward especially in that third quarter you

Come out after a 10-0 run in the first half you come out and put them away right away with a 40-point third quarter here all right let’s take a look at the team St comparison okay the Warriers shop 43 assists against Memphis and Memphis was game for the most part in

The first half it was a 5858 basketball game as Al was hitting threes left and right but the Warriors are able to put them away with a monster into the first half and of course that run in the third quarter to put this game away let’s hear

From the head coach of the go to State Warriors Steve Kerr presented by BMW

Chris Mullin & Ezeli react Curry reaches 300 3-pts record fifth time, Warriors Win Grizzlies 137-116
