Golden State took a commanding 3-2 series lead following its blowout win Wednesday over Memphis. The Warriors rediscovered their 3-point game en route to a 98-78 blowout victory, with guards Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson combining for 39 points and nine 3s. But the Warriors' defense in Game 5 was what stood out.
"I think I said the first couple games, 'Our defense was good enough, but it wasn't championship defense,'" Warriors coach Steve Kerr told the Associated Press. "I was wrong. This is what it's going to take."
Warriors forward Draymond Green agreed.
"That's our brand of basketball," Green said. "We got a couple of stops and all of a sudden the game started changing. It's tough for anybody to keep up with us in transition, but that has to start on the defensive end."
Grizzlies guard Mike Conley, though, was more concerned with the Warriors' offense.
"They're moving the ball. They're getting a lot more penetration. Everybody," said Conley. "When you do that, it's always tough to stop."
Memphis looked sluggish for much of the game. Grizzlies star Marc Gasol led with 18 points, and forward Zach Randolph and guard Mike Conley added 13 points apiece. On the defensive end for Friday, Grizzlies guard Tony Allen is expected to play after sitting out Game 5 with a leg injury.
