The Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies face off in a huge match up in Game 6 of their NBA Playoffs 2015 series on Friday night. The Warriors have the advantage, being 3-2 up in the series coming into this game. However, the Grizzlies are at the FedEx Forum in Memphis, Tennessee tonight and will be hoping home court advantage can help them claim the victory that can tie up the series again at 3-3 and take this all the way to a winner takes all Game 7.
Tonight's big Playoffs game between the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies is scheduled to start at 9.30 p.m. ET and can be watched on TV on the ESPN network. The game can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.
The Warriors claimed a solid win in Game 5 to go 3-2 up in the series and move to within just one more win of the Western Conference Final.
Game 5 was an intriguing affair, but it was in the two quarters either side of half time that the Warriors really turned the screw on the Grizzlies, and they ultimately had no answer.
Especially, the Warriors defense successfully managed to shut down the Memphis offense in both those quarters, holding them to just 16 points in each. That allowed them to pull out into a comfortable lead, and by the final quarter the game was pretty much all over already.
That 98-78 victory should give the Golden State Warriors extra confidence for tonight's Game 6 that they can lock down the Grizzlies offense and claim one more win to take them through to the Conference Final.
Golden State coach Steve Kerr has said that his team will be going all out to end things here tonight, and will not be relying on any thoughts of knowing they have another bite at the apple should they lose here today.
Kerr has said, "You don't want to mess around. You never know what can happen (in a Game 7). So our intent is to go down there and play the kind of defense we've played the last two games."
The Warriors have limited Memphis to an average of 81 points and 38.6 percent shooting over their recent wins. That seems to have been the difference, as the Grizzlies were averaging 94 points and 45 percent shooting over the first three games when they went 2-1 up in the series.
Memphis must find a way to break down the Warriors strong defensive line if they are to take this to Game 7, and they can ill afford any mistakes anymore, being 2-3 down in the series.
