GAME LEADERS
After going more than a week without a game, the Warriors showed no signs of rust in Sunday’s 101-86 home win over the Grizzlies in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semifinals.
Draymond Green had the hot hand early, hitting three of his four 3-point attempts in the first six minutes of the game. That set the tone for the entire game, as the Warriors showed tremendous marksmanship from the perimeter from start to finish. Golden Stat shot 13-for-28 on 3-pointers, getting four treys apiece from Green and Stephen Curry.
Curry paced the Warriors with 22 points and seven assists, fellow Splash Brother Klay Thompson put in 18 while Green finished with 16 points. The Warriors shot 50.6 percent from the field against a Memphis defense that ranked fourth in the NBA in defensive rating.
