The Golden State Warriors had an opportunity to advance to the Western Conference Finals on Wednesday, facing the Memphis Grizzlies with a 3-1 series lead. While the Grizzlies had home-court advantage, the continued absence of star guard Ja Morant put the Warriors in a good position to finish things off.
Stephen Curry thought he could smell blood in the water pregame when he told ESPN Warriors reporter Kendra Andrews, “Whoop that trick” when he was asked about Golden State’s gameplan-a slogan used by the Grizzlies from the 2005 Memphis classic song of the same title.
