The Warriors went on an 8-0 run after the break, fueled by two Klay Thompson three-pointers. Thompson scored 21 points on 4 of 6 triples.

"I liked his poise and patience," Steve Kerr said. "Klay gets hotter when we get good shots."

Along with Thompson, the Warriors got another 25-point performance from Poole, who had 27. Dribble penetration exposed Memphis and led to Golden State scoring 62 points inside.
