Here are some more reactions from Twitter.

Despite having no Stephen Curry in the Warriors lineup, fans were happy to see the San Francisco 49ers players supporting their basketball team by being in attendance.

A quick recap of the game

As for the game, the Warriors certainly did not disappoint. Jordan Poole went off against the Grizzlies with 17 points in the first quarter. Fans even saw Stephen Curry giving Poole some tips during the game from the sidelines.

Poole had a 32-point performance in the game. He probably would?ve scored more if he hadn?t gotten ejected after receiving two technicals during the game. In fact, Poole wasn?t the only one to get called for a technical.

Klay Thompson took a moment during the fourth quarter of the game to taunt Dillon Brooks. Thompson hit a leaning mid-range jumper with Brooks trying to catch up to him. Brooks not only failed to close out, but he also tripped and fell on the floor.

Thompson taunted Brooks on his way back on defense which led to the official calling the technical on Klay. But all in all, it was a great performance from the entire Warriors squad including players like Donte DiVincenzo and Ty Jerome to name a few.
