The Warriors pulled a huge win with a 20-point victory and Golden State is looking to finish things off. Stephen Curry comes in after scoring 18 points, seven rebounds and five assists in the last game and Marc Gasol countered with 18 points and 12 rebounds. Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 21 points in the game, while Andrew Bogut had nine rebounds and Draymond Green had nine assists.
The Warriors have a strong offensive team and the Grizzlies come in with a great defense and that could be the key matchup that decides the game. The Warriors come in looking to finish things off, while Memphis wants to push it to a Game 7. Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have not been shooting great from long range and they will try and get things going in Game 6 and this could end things if they are hot on Friday night.
Tony Allen has been the best defender on both teams in the series and he missed the game in the blowout loss and that clearly had an effect on things. Thompson scored his most amount of points after Allen was out and with him back in the lineup, the Grizzlies have the chance. Memphis has the edge in experience, but the Warriors have been a better team this season. Memphis has been to a conference final before and now both teams will try and make it happen.
The Warriors have been playing better offensively and with Allen back in the lineup, the Grizzlies have a very good chance to get a win. The Warriors can deal with playing from behind, as they came back against the Grizzlies from a 13-point deficit and now they are trying to finish it off. The Grizzlies have been 5-1 at home in the playoffs and now they want to add a sixth win to push this to a Game 7 matchup.
