Memphis started the game on fire and built a double-digit lead early in the first quarter, but that was the last time they'd have any control on this game. Golden State responded with a 16-2 run to close the quarter and led from that point on, never letting Memphis get close to making it a game.
Key Stat:
Golden State won this game by dictating the tempo, turning this into a fast-paced affair. They outscored the Grizzlies 31-6 in fast break points, and Memphis couldn't make up that deficit in any other area of the game.
Golden State MVP:
Stephen Curry showed why he's the MVP tonight as he put up 18 points, seven rebounds, five assists, and six steals, while Klay Thompson also stepped up and chipped in 21 points and five assists.
Andre Iguodala provided a big spark off the bench with 16 points.
Memphis MVP:
Marc Gasol did all he could to keep the Grizzlies competitive in this one with 18 points, 12 rebounds, and six assists, but he didn't get a lot of help from his teammates.
What's Next?
Game 6 will be in Memphis on Friday at 9:30 p.m. ET on ESPN.
