Memphis Grizzlies fought hard and remained ahead for most of Game 4 vs the Warriors despite playing without superstar guard Ja Morant.
Grizzlies had the chance to tie the game with 15 seconds to go. However, Draymond Green blocked Jaren Jackson Jr.’s shot as Curry went to the line afterward to clinch the game.
Taylor Jenkins appeared “curious” about the game-clinching block stating that Green might have committed a shooting foul. The shot would’ve tied the game at 98 with under 15 seconds to play.
“We were trying with 19 seconds left to go quick, get a quick two or a quick three,” Jenkins told reporters. “I think maybe a shot that was a little rushed right there. I’m actually curious what [the league] will say.
I think there was contact…That was heavily contested, but I think there was a lot of contact. Probably a rushed shot on our part but it just didn’t go our way.”
Jaren Jackon Jr. was focused on his own performance during the post game availability, claiming that he should have made a better. Jackson missed all of his seven three-pointers in the game.
“I missed. I took it, I thought it was going in. Probably could have done more to attack him, he had five fouls, but that’s a shot I worked every day… I missed tough”.
The two teams will meet again Wednesday in Memphis in a “do or die” game for the Grizzlies. Memphis hope to have Morant back for the most crucial game of the season.
