The Golden State Warriors will look to extend the lead over the Memphis Grizzlies in the second game of the Western Conference playoffs at the FedEx Forum arena tonight. It was a nail-biting encounter between the two sides in the first game of the series. Steve Kerr’s men got an exciting win by a margin of just 1 point.

The Warriors’ fans expressed their disappointment on Twitter after the ejection of Draymond Green as the result of a Flagrant 2 foul on Grizzlies forward Brandon Clarke. The decision seemed controversial and that could have hurt the Warriors as it came in the second quarter.

However, Jordan Poole rose to the occasion and helped his team cross the finish line by adding 31 points to his name. Stephen Curry seemed pumped up after the win. In the post-game conference, he said:

“The core, we’ve got championship DNA, and we wanted to utilize that. At this stage, that’s what it’s all about. Never let go of the rope in terms of feeling like you’re out of a game.”

The Memphis Grizzlies will look to turn the tables in Game 2. They can’t drop another home fixture otherwise it is surely going to be too difficult for them to make a comeback. Taylor Jenkin’s squad gave a strong fight in the last game but that didn’t seem enough. Ja Morant and Jaren Jackson Jr. were the shining stars as they added 67 points together.

Steven Adams and Ziaire Williams are expected to make a comeback in Game 2 for the Grizzlies. The Warriors are not having any fresh injury concerns ahead of the next clash.
