Andrew Wiggins leads the undermanned Warriors past the Grizzlies 121-113 on Saturday

To start a back-to-back home game, the Golden State Warriors were shorthanded as Steph Curry, Brandin Podziemski and Gary Payton II were all out Saturday night against the Memphis Grizzlies at Chase Center. Things didn’t get any easier for the Warriors when Jonathan Kuminga left the game late in the second quarter with an ankle injury.

Despite missing several key players, the Warriors were still able to pull off an impressive shorthanded victory over the Grizzlies (121-113). Six different members of the Warriors scored 11 or more points against the Grizzlies, including leading scorer Andrew Wiggins.

After scoring just two points in the first half, Wiggins exploded in the third quarter. Wiggins scored 18 points in the third quarter on 8 of 7 shooting from the field and three made 3-pointers. Wiggins finished the game with 24 points on 9 of 17 shooting from the field with three assists and two rebounds in 36 minutes.
