The Grizzlies defeated the Golden State Warriors in Game 3 of the Western Conference Semifinals 99-89 to take a 2-1 series lead.
Memphis dominated the paint, outscoring the Warriors 46-32 in the category behind the strong performances of Marc Gasol (21 points, 15 rebounds) and Zach Randolph (22 points, eight rebounds).
Much like in the Grizzlies’ Game 2 victory at Golden State, Memphis played tough-nosed defense and held the Warriors to just 6-of-26 (.231) from three-point range. Golden State has combined to shoot 12-of-52 (.231) from beyond the arc in Games 2 and 3.
