The Memphis Grizzlies have survived a brutal first-round playoff matchup against the Minnesota Timberwolves, winning the series 4-2.
The team’s reward? An even tougher series against multi-time NBA Champions Golden State. Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green lead this revitalized Warriors team in search of their first title since 2018.
The Grizzlies will be competing against the Warriors with around 36-hour notice. The team is expected to recover, rest, and prepare for a brand new series in about a day’s time
Even though the Grizzlies are the No. 2 seed and Golden State is the No. 3 seed, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Curry and the Warriors as the favorites to win the series.
