Final result, highlights from the blowout win

The Memphis Grizzlies never made the Golden State Warriors feel like they had a chance Thursday night at FedExForum.

On the opening tip against Zach Edey, Golden State’s Kevon Looney was fouled, and it felt like everything was going for the Grizzlies after that.

Memphis went on an 8-0 run and never let up in its most dominant win of the season. The Grizzlies defeated the Warriors 144-93.

Memphis had strong performances on offense, but it was the defensive performance that led to the victory.

The Grizzlies (19-9) held Warriors star Steph Curry to two points and failed to make any field goals in 24 minutes. Draymond Green also finished the game scoreless in 19 minutes.

All 12 active Grizzlies scored during Thursday’s routing. Santi Aldama led the Grizzlies with 21 digs and 14 rebounds. Jaren Jackson Jr. struggled with foul trouble in the first half, but still managed 17 points, six rebounds and five assists.

Ja Morant left Thursday’s game with 9:09 left in the third quarter after falling on his back. A return was considered questionable due to back pain, but the game was out of reach.

The 51-point win was the Grizzlies’ largest ever over Golden State (14-12). It was also the NBA’s most lopsided win this season.

Memphis will return to action on Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks (6:30 p.m., FanDuel Sports Network).
