The Warriors needed size to combat revitalized Grizzlies center Steven Adams and more rebounding. Big man Kevon Looney fit the bill.
“Kevon, he’s been one of those guys that has been a mainstay in everything that we do and no matter what — any point in his career when his number has been called, he’s been ready,” Green said. “We knew we couldn’t do it without him, which is why we were lobbying for him to get back into the starting lineup.”
Looney grabbed as many rebounds in the first quarter as the entire Grizzlies team combined. His 11 rebounds in the opening 12 minutes were the most for any quarter for him in his career. He also matched a Warriors playoff record set by Larry Smith in 1987. By the final buzzer, Looney snagged a career-high 22 rebounds — a feat he said he hadn’t accomplished since college.
But Brown was even more impressed by the other career high Looney reached Friday night. The 26-year-old logged 35 minutes for the first time in his career and played the entire fourth quarter.
