The Golden State Warriors rallied from a 17-point second-half deficit to stun the visiting Memphis Grizzlies 114-113 on Monday night. Gui Santos' go-ahead layup with 19.4 seconds remaining proved to be the difference as the Warriors overcame 23 turnovers to pick up their second win in the last three games.

Why it matters

The victory was an impressive comeback for the short-handed Warriors, who were missing key players like Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler III. It also highlighted the depth and resilience of the Warriors' roster as they continue to compete without their full complement of stars.

The details

The Grizzlies led 108-95 with 8:23 remaining before the Warriors held them to just 5 points the rest of the way. A driving layup by Moses Moody got Golden State within 113-112 with 2 minutes left, setting up the frantic finish. After missing several chances to take the lead, the Warriors finally went ahead when Gui Santos converted a layup in a crowd of defenders with 19.4 seconds left.
