Golden State Warriors coach Steve Kerr expressed dissatisfaction with officiating following a 111-108 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies on October 23 at Chase Center. The loss came after a controversial illegal screen call against Draymond Green with 19.7 seconds remaining, which Kerr argued was a bad call. He also suggested that the Grizzlies were exaggerating contact to influence officials. Memphis displayed strong defense, limiting Stephen Curry to 5-for-15 shooting. The Grizzlies improved their defensive performance from their season opener, where they contained Lauri Markkanen to 4-for-13 shooting. Memphis will play the Sacramento Kings on October 25.
