Tonight at 10:30 p.m. ET on TNT the NBA's No. 1 seed, the Golden State Warriors, will go for a commanding 3-2 lead in their second round series vs. the Memphis Grizzlies on TNT in a Game 5 that can be live streamed free by clicking this link. Warriors fans can listen to the radio broadcast on KNBR 680, while Grizzlies fans may do likewise on 92.9 FM ESPN.
After winning two straight games by limiting the production of Golden State's Splash Bros., Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors rose to the occasion in Game 4 behind 33 points by Curry that included 44 percent from beyond the arc. Thompson contributed 15 points and hit half of his six 3-point attempts.
"I get frustrated, but never down," Curry said of being stifled for two games by Tony Allen and Mike Conley. "I'm pretty good at being able to go home and forget about what happened in a game."
Memphis' defense has earned kudos throughout the series, but offensively they've failed to match Golden State whenever their treys are falling. "At some point we're going to have to score 100 points to win a game against them," Grizzlies coach Dave Joerger said. "You can't just keep running your defense at them."
Marc Gasol has averaged a double-double (19 points, 10 rebounds), and Zach Randolph is close (18.5 points, 8.8 rebounds), but their leading perimeter scorer has been Mike Conley, who missed Game 1 with facial injuries and is playing with a mask on. Conley and Courtney Lee have also been the sole Grizzlies unafraid to let loose from the 3-point line, which has made Memphis easier for the Warriors to defend.
