Draymond Green writes unfortunate NBA history with the Warriors-Grizzlies

After losing eight of their last 10 games, the Golden State Warriors entered Thursday’s game in a must-win situation. Unfortunately, things didn’t quite work out that way for the Warriors.

The Grizzlies outran the Warriors, took a 31-point halftime lead, and simply never let their foot off the gas. Memphis defended its home court and took a commanding 51-point victory, the largest margin of victory in the NBA this season.

It was an impressive team effort from the Grizzlies, as all 12 players who touched the court scored 5+ and scored six points in double figures. As a team, Memphis shot 54.1 percent from the field and 56.3 percent from deep, a crazy shooting night that will rarely be repeated.

Aside from Andrew Wiggins and Brandin Podziemski, who combined for 40 points on efficient 15-24 shooting, no one on the Warriors really showed off. Stars Steph Curry and Draymond Green certainly didn’t have any fun on Thursday night, combining for two points on 11-0 shooting.

Green had a historically bad night, turning in one of the worst statistical performances anyone has ever seen. In 19 minutes, the four-time NBA All-Star had 0 points, 0 rebounds, 0 assists and 4 turnovers on 0-7 shooting. His minus-42 is the worst plus/minus of any player in NBA history who played 20 minutes or less.

This anomaly of a game shouldn’t define Golden State’s season, but Green’s historically poor performance in a crushing 51-point loss certainly can’t improve their cold streak.
