The Christmas Day matchup between the Golden State Warriors and Memphis Grizzlies was far from a disappointment. With Stephen Curry sidelined with an injury, many fans speculated that the matchup would not be as interesting as once thought. However, with fellow athletes from the San Francisco 49ers in attendance, the Warriors made sure to give them and the fans a show.

Very few expected the Warriors to win against the Memphis Grizzlies, who are now the number three seed in the Western Conference. Without their leading scorer on the floor, the Grizzlies were expected to have an easy win.

The Warriors, moreover, are one of the best teams at home with a 13-2 record so far. And with 49ers stars like Deebo Samuels and Brock Prudy in attendance, the entire Warriors roster rose up to the occasion.?

Fans were happy to see fellow San Francisco athletes in attendance even when Stephen Curry was not playing.

Here are some more reactions from Twitter.

Despite having no Stephen Curry in the Warriors lineup, fans were happy to see the San Francisco 49ers players supporting their basketball team by being in attendance.

A quick recap of the game

As for the game, the Warriors certainly did not disappoint. Jordan Poole went off against the Grizzlies with 17 points in the first quarter. Fans even saw Stephen Curry giving Poole some tips during the game from the sidelines.

Poole had a 32-point performance in the game. He probably would?ve scored more if he hadn?t gotten ejected after receiving two technicals during the game. In fact, Poole wasn?t the only one to get called for a technical.

Klay Thompson took a moment during the fourth quarter of the game to taunt Dillon Brooks. Thompson hit a leaning mid-range jumper with Brooks trying to catch up to him. Brooks not only failed to close out, but he also tripped and fell on the floor.

Thompson taunted Brooks on his way back on defense which led to the official calling the technical on Klay. But all in all, it was a great performance from the entire Warriors squad including players like Donte DiVincenzo and Ty Jerome to name a few.
