Golden State came up short against the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday, falling 137-128. Golden State’s loss came about despite a quality game from point guard Stephen Curry, who shot 10-for-16 from downtown and finished with 40 points, seven assists and six boards.
Meanwhile, Memphis came up short against the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday, falling 112-103. Shooting guard Desmond Bane wasn’t much of a difference maker for the Grizzlies; Bane finished with only seven points on 3-for-14 shooting in his 34 minutes on the court.
