On May 2, Beijing time, the Warriors narrowly defeated the Grizzlies 117-116 away, leading 1-0 in the total score. This is a game to the end. The three new stars scored 30+ together, shining in the G1 arena, but the veterans are still the ones who decide the winner at critical moments. Thompson overtook the lead, Curry blocked Morant , Thompson defended Morant's final kill, saved Warriors with one attack and two defenses.
In this game, the young people performed amazingly for most of the time. Morant scored 34 points, 9 rebounds and 10 assists, Jackson scored 33 points, 10 rebounds, and Poole, who came on the bench, scored 31 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists, setting a record. This is the first time in NBA playoff history that there are three players 22 years old or under who score 30+ points in the same game.
Morant and Jackson Jr. became the first pair of players in the history of the Grizzlies to score 30+ points in the same game playoff . Poole scored 30 points on the bench, making the Warriors the first team since 1987 to have multiple players played in the playoffs and scored 30+ (Curry played in the playoffs this year). The Warriors did this in the previous team. Povis Sauter and Terry Teague, who played for the Warriors at the time in the 1987 playoffs, had scored more than 30 respectively.
The most exciting plot appears in the last 36.6 seconds of the game. The Warriors were two points behind 114-116.

Since Thompson missed two free throws, the Grizzlies also had the chance to make a final kill in the last 4.8 seconds. This opportunity was obviously left to Morant. After Morant accelerated and broke through, made a layup with a low hand . Thompson tried his best to interfere, so that the ball failed to hit! With one offense and two defenses, Splash Brothers helped the Warriors win a good start in the Western Conference semi-finals!
