Warriors Host Grizzlies With Season On The Line
The Golden State Warriors play host to the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semi Finals at Chase Center on Friday evening.

Despite missing Ja Morant (knee) in Game 5, the Grizzlies got out to a great start and led, 38-28, after one quarter. They kept the pressure on in the second and rallied to a, 77-50, lead by halftime. The Warriors had no answers in the second half, as the Grizzlies won the third quarter, 42-17, to make it a 52-point deficit heading into the final frame. The Grizzlies cruised the rest of the way to close the impressive home win and take the, 3-2, series lead.

Jaren Jackson, Tyus Jones and Desmond Bane tallied 21 points each to lead the way for the Grizzlies. Steven Adams added seven points, 13 rebounds and three assists, while Dillon Brooks chipped in 12 points, four rebounds, four assists and a steal. Meanwhile, Klay Thompson led the Warriors with 19 points, three rebounds and a steal, in 25 minutes. Jonathan Kuminga followed up with 17 points, three rebounds and two assists, while Stephen Curry finished with 14 points, three rebounds and four assists.

Morant (knee) will remain sidelined, which means Tyus Jones has to continue to carry a major load in the backcourt. De'Anthony Melton and Steven Adams have also seen increased playing time lately.

Otto Porter (foot) and Andre Iguodala (neck) are listed as questionable for the Warriors, which would mean more playing time for Jonathan Kuminga.
