Gary Payton II was a casualty of Tuesday night’s slugfest that was Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – Gary Payton II, one of the Warriors’ best defenders against Ja Morant, was a casualty of Tuesday night’s slugfest that was Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Brooks received a Flagrant 2 foul for the contact and was ejected. After the game, several members of the Warriors expressed displeasure for what they viewed as unnecessary contact by Brooks, with Kerr calling the play “dirty” and accusing the Grizzlies forward of breaking the league’s unspoken “code” about going after defenseless players and jeopardizing a person’s season/career.
The Grizzlies have seen a massive drop in production from starter Desmond Bane as he’s been hampered with a back injury. It’s bad news for Memphis, but good for the Warriors, who are still more than capable of putting the young Grizzlies team in their place to take the series and advance to the Western Conference Finals.Kerr tapped Payton to start the last two playoff games in place of Jordan Poole because he was the team’s best line of defense against Morant.
