The Warriors need to beat Memphis on the boards and limit turnovers. They did neither in a Game 5 loss.
The Warriors are still a win away from clinching their first Western Conference finals berth since 2019. But they looked far from mentally capable of competing on that level in Game 5.
A lackadaisical effort on both ends in the first half caused a landslide that should have Warriors fans questioning if this team has what it takes to buck up in must-win moments. Draymond Green and, at times, Steph Curry and Jordan Poole have caused too many momentum-killers. The turnovers have gotten worse in this series, where the Warriors’ are averaging 17 turnovers per game — the most in the playoffs. Green’s responsibility on offense is to facilitate, find the open man and keep the ball moving until they can find the best shot to take.
On Wednesday, Curry turned the ball over twice and Poole four times when he couldn’t keep his handle off the dribble. Curry played 25 minutes and Poole 20 before sitting out for most of the second half. Curry said they need to be more mindful of taking the open looks they’re getting while mitigating the risks they’re taking.
