Grit-and-Grind invades Oracle arena in game one of the Western Conference Semi-Finals. Will the Splash Brothers get the better of the Smash Brothers?
Golden State welcomes the Memphis Grizzlies to Oracle arena Sunday afternoon, in a series that has always felt inevitable.
Unfortunately for Memphis, they arrive in Oakland a very different team. Star point guard Mike Conley is out indefinitely with multiple facial fractures, in addition to a preexisting plantar fasciitis injury that has limited him for much of April. Conley has missed six of the last nine Grizzlies games, and Grit-and-Grind is just 3-3 without him in that stretch.
