How the Game Unfolded
Both squads entered at 1-1 in Vegas Summer League play. Oddsmakers liked Memphis by 1.5 points, which made zero sense by the time the second quarter rolled around.
Memphis’s defense actually showed up early, holding Golden State to 14 first-quarter points. Coach Tuomas Iisalo called it “fantastic” afterward. Then came the second quarter meltdown. Golden State dropped 29 points while Memphis’s defense disappeared. Those defensive “lapses,” as Iisalo put it, changed the entire game.

Marques Bolden dominated with a 22.7 PIE in just 16 minutes. He went 4-for-6 from the field and grabbed 5 boards. That’s efficiency.
LJ Cryer’s +23 rating led all players despite scoring only 5 points. His 3 steals and smart positioning made Golden State better every second he played.
Late-Game Execution Seals It
The broadcast crew had it right: “Warriors separating late in the fourth, they’re getting quality looks, they’re knocking those down shooting 52% from the floor.”
Memphis hung around until the final period. GG Jackson hit a three-pointer that announcers said he “needs to continuously take.” Good shot, but Golden State answered immediately. The killer blow came when Jaden Shackelford drove left and hit Jackson Rowe for an easy bucket. “And that should do it, good night,” the announcer called. Score: 95-81, under 40 seconds left. Game over.
Coach Speaks Truth
Tuomas Iisalo, Memphis’s Summer League coach and lead assistant on Taylor Jenkins’s staff, didn’t hold back:
“If we give up that many points it’s very difficult to win… defensively a ton of straight line drives, give up second chance points, uh, transition points.”
Asked if fatigue from playing in two Summer Leagues explained the poor defense, Iisalo shot back: “No.”
That’s accountability. No excuses for giving up 96 points.
Two Different Approaches
Lainn Wilson, the new Santa Cruz Warriors head coach, ran Steve Kerr’s motion offense like clockwork. Four players hit double figures. Twelve guys contributed meaningful minutes. Ball movement created open shots all night.
Memphis rode Cam Spencer’s 23 points and GG Jackson’s 13 points, 6 assists. When Golden State’s defense tightened, Memphis had no answers. They shot 38.4% because they couldn’t generate easy looks like the Warriors did.
Worth noting: Memphis ranked 24th in opponent scoring during the regular season. Those defensive issues followed them to Vegas.
Individual Standouts
Jackson Rowe (Warriors) – 14 points on 5-of-7 shooting, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 3 blocks. Did everything. Perfect fit for Golden State’s system according to online reaction.
Will Richard (Warriors) – 12 points on 5-of-8 shooting, 3 steals. His 112.2 offensive and defensive ratings show consistency on both ends.
Cam Spencer (Grizzlies) – Led all scorers with 23 on 60% shooting. Problem was his 5 turnovers and the team’s defensive breakdowns when he was on court.
Jahmai Mashack (Grizzlies) – Bright spot for Memphis with 15 points and a +17 rating. Brought energy when teammates didn’t.
What Happens Next
Golden State moves to 2-1 in Vegas with another balanced win. Rowe and Richard keep building their cases for two-way deals. This follows similar depth wins against Houston.
Memphis falls to 1-2. Defense remains the issue, just like in their loss to Oklahoma City. Iisalo’s harsh words suggest practices will focus on that end of the floor.
Bottom Line
Check any Warriors-Grizzlies stat sheet from July 15, 2025, and you’ll see domination. Golden State shot better (51.5% to 38.4%), forced more turnovers via steals (18 to 9), and scored more efficiently (114.3 offensive rating to 100.0).
Memphis got individual numbers from Spencer and Jackson but lost the team game. In Summer League or the NBA, depth beats stars when the depth plays defense. Golden State proved that again with their 96-84 victory.
