Warriors facing upstart Grizzlies in Western Conference Semifinals.
Quick Warriors-Grizzlies preview: Golden State to face young, confident group that goes beyond Morant
Memphis, meanwhile, has had young superstar Ja Morant earn Most Improved Player with a monster season, watched young players like Desmond Bane and Jaren Jackson Jr. shine in growing roles and have blended veteran center Steven Adams to their group. Their core exploded for 56 wins, tied for the most in Grizzlies franchise history.
But none of that current Grizzlies core was around the one and only time Memphis and Golden State squared off in the playoffs, back in 2015. The Grit ‘n’ Grind Grizzlies led the series 2-1, but Curry, Thompson, Green, Iguodala and the Warriors won Game 4 in Memphis, dominated in Game 5 and blitzed the Grizzlies on their home floor early in Game 6 to take the series — their toughest test on the road to their first championship together.
If they want a shot at winning their fourth title, they’ll have to once again take a game from the Grizzlies in Memphis. Follow along as reporters Madeline Kenney and Shayna Rubin and columnist Dieter Kurtenbach break down Game 1 of the Western Conference semifinals.
