The Golden State Warriors may have ceded home court advantage to the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 2 of their Western Conference semifinal matchup, but they can take comfort in knowing it had to do more with what they didn't do than what the Grizzlies did.

"I thought we lost our poise tonight. We were too quick with our intention to score instead of just moving the ball and setting good screens. Everyone was trying to do everything frantically on their own," Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the game.

The Warriors 20 turnovers led to 22 Grizz points on the other end. They shot 23.1 percent from three, and just 41.9 percent overall. Their starting backcourt of newly minted MVP Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combined to shoot 13-34, including a paltry 3-17 from deep. They also failed to score more than two consecutive baskets the entire game, just the second time they have done so all season, with the other one also ending up in a loss. But despite all these, the Warriors were still within seven points with still over six minutes left in the game.

It's highly unlikely that their two All-Stars would shoot as poorly as they did in back to back games. The Grizzlies could conceivably force them into about the same number of turnovers at the Grind House, but if the Warriors could just string together some shots, it may not really matter.

But then again, that's the identity of this rugged Memphis team, forcing a team into playing uncharacteristically. They play inside-out on offense"”an approach almost the entire league has abandoned, and the stifle you on defense.

Opined CBS Sports' Matt Moore, "For the first time, a team was challenging everything. Memphis completely flipped the formula for the Warriors"¦The Warriors were sloppy, but they were also caught off guard by how physical this game was, how much everything was a struggle, how it wasn't easy," he wrote.

Game 3 is scheduled Saturday, May 9 in Memphis. Tip-off is scheduled at 8:00 pm ET.
