The Golden State Warriors will play the Memphis Grizzlies on Monday night in Game 4 of their NBA Playoffs 2015 series, with the Warriors knowing another loss here tonight would leave them on the brink of elimination and send them home early from the postseason festivities.
Tonight's Game 4 is scheduled to start at 9.30 p.m. ET and takes place from the FedExForum in Memphis, Tennessee. The game will be broadcast live on TV on the TNT network, but can also be watched online through live stream via the link provided below.
The Warriors will have to show the character of champions to fight their way back from their recent knocks. In the space of a few games they have gone from near-unbeatable NBA title contenders to a team looking like they are on the way out.
The Golden State Warriors were top seeds, and huge favorites to win through easily against the Grizzlies in this series, however, in the space of just five days they have lost consecutive games, which leaves them 1-2 down, and knowing that any further decline in form could see them sent home early from the Playoffs.
The Warriors players know how important tonight's game is. Guard Klay Thompson has said ahead of the game: "It's not a must win, but it's pretty freaking close."
Golden State have slumped in form over the past two games and their stats show the decline clearly. During the regular season the Warriors were averaging an impressive 110 points per game, and were the league's best from three-pointer range, scoring 39.8 percent.
However, in the past two games those figures have dropped dramatically; they've averaged just 89.5 points over Games 2 and 3, and have missed 20 of 26 from the three-pointer range in each of the last couple of games.
But history is on their side, as the Warriors have not dropped three games in a row since way back on November 20-23, 2013. That's 17 months ago, and should indicate that the Warriors have what it takes to storm back and level the series tonight. However, the pressures of the Playoffs can do funny things to teams, and now is the time the Warriors have to show their character and resolve to make sure they get the job done and get back to the basics of what they do best.
