The NBA playoffs continue as the Los Angeles Clippers and Golden State Warriors meet at Oracle Arena for Game 3 and the matchup is tied 1-1 in the series and LA is looking to get the lead and the game starts at 10:30 pm ET on TNT and comes live online Thursday night.
The NBA playoffs standings has the Oklahoma City Thunder and Memphis Grizzlies tied 1-1 along with the LA Clippers and the Golden State Warriors after the Grizz won in overtime and Los Angeles won in a blowout and now those teams along with the Miami Heat, Indiana Pacers, Brooklyn Nets, San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets all look to continue along as the eastern and western conference first round series play out this week.
The games on Monday night were exciting apart from the blowout and the Thunder had an amazing finish to their game and saw Kevin Durant hit an amazing three down the stretch, but they couldn't hang on in overtime after forcing the extra period and now the series is tied at 1-1. Memphis played hard and they are one of the best defensive teams in the league and they showed why in the game and down the end of overtime they were able to pull away for the victory despite some great play from Kevin Durant and Russell Westbrook.
Zach Randolph led the way for the Grizzlies with 25 points, while Durant had 36 for Oklahoma City and now that series is tied up at 1-1 and should be tough the rest of the way. Last season Memphis won over Oklahoma City, but they were without Westbrook after he was injured and now he is back and looking great and he may have taken some ill-advised shots at the end, but that's how the point guard plays and he is at his best when he is flowing that way.
The Golden State Warriors got beat up and the Clippers rebounded from their loss in Game 1 and won by 30 points and that saw 35 points from Blake Griffin. Steph Curry had 24 points and now that series is tied up at 1-1 as well. Curry added eight assists while DeAndre Jordan had nine rebounds and now that series will play out with the Clips looking to get a win on the road. The Thunder and Grizzlies played tight and that series was one everyone thought could be tough. Griffin played in less than 20 minutes in Game 1 and he was a different animal in Game 2 and that could be huge for LA.
