PROJECTED STARTING LINEUPS: · MEMPHIS: Tyus Jones, Desmond Bane, Dillon Brooks, Jaren Jackson Jr., Steven Adams · GOLDEN STATE: Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, ...

Combining the size advantage that coincides with the return of Adams with the energy that should be present in FedExForum, the opportunity for the Grizzlies to survive and advance to a Game 6 is there. And while Adams and Anderson were strong in Game 4, their level of efficiency when matched with volume is likely going to be hard to replicate. Memphis was leading for 47 minutes and 15 seconds of Game 4, at Golden State. The Grizzlies lost by one in Game 1 to the Warriors and beat Golden State in Game 2 - both contests being played at home. The key is finding ways to level up position wise in terms of size, which holds tremendous value potentially if the goal is to continue to try to muck up and muddy the Golden State system. The Golden State Warriors are a veteran team with a splash of youth in Jordan Poole and Jonathan Kuminga. Those two players are key to the Warriors (especially Poole), but make no mistake - Golden State is driven specifically by elder statesmen Steph Curry and Draymond Green, and to a lesser extent Klay Thompson (6-20 in Game 4, outside of Game 3’s avalanche has shot ineffectively). They want this series to end now, since the Dallas/Phoenix series will at least go 6. Kyle Anderson (7-8 from the floor) and Steven Adams (5-9) were also able to have their way in the paint and at the rim. In Game 2 - the lone victory for Memphis in this series so far - Ja Morant went absolutely nuts. But it was fun to see a Memphis Grizzlies player be able to do something comparable to what a future Hall of Famer in Curry is capable of. It is natural for Memphis Grizzlies fans to feel as if the end of the season is a foregone conclusion after the way Game 4 ended. Through four games, one fundamental area in which the Memphis Grizzlies possess the upper hand over the Golden State Warriors is size. The Game 3 whooping at the hands of the Warriors is the outlier in this series - the majority of the games have been close. With Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Bane, and the crew back on Beale Street at FedExForum for Game 5, hope to get the series back to Golden State should be strong.

The Memphis Grizzlies will have to win the next three games in order to win their series over the Golden State Warriors and extend their season.

By that point, the Grizzlies had the outcome on ice, 119-67. “I don’t go out there and try to be ’12,’” Jones said, referring to Morant’s jersey number.

Said Jaren Jackson Jr., seated between Bane and Jones at the postgame podium: “Resume speaks for itself. Maybe it’s a surprise to the national media because we haven’t played on a big stage. Memphis already had 97 points when Curry and Green exited with nearly 19 minutes remaining, more points than the Warriors would get all game. Facing one of the NBA’s most talented and savvy playoff teams, with about two weeks of game-planning and adjustments baked in, and the Grizzlies facing elimination? Acting coach Mike Brown didn’t dazzle in his second consecutive stint subbing for Steve Kerr (Health and Safety Protocols) but he did at least spread more than half the game’s minutes on the bench. Jaren Jackson Jr., Desmond Banes and Tyus Jones each scored 21, more than anybody on the Warriors side. The Grizzlies’ record this season in games when their dynamic point guard, Ja Morant, was hurt or otherwise absent was 20-5.
