Defensive change rattles Grizzlies in Warriors 101-84 win

Impressions from the Warriors 101-84 win game 4 of their playoff series with Memphis.

-Center Andrew Bogut matching up against Tony Allen was as startling as it was effective. According to assistant coach Luke Walton, who appeared with Ray Woodson on KNBR after the game, the coaching staff decided to make the defensive switch on Sunday night during a marathon meeting in Steve Kerr’s hotel room. Assistant coach Ron Adams thought of the idea, and the plan was to spring it on the Grizzlies later in the series. Even when Bogut did start out on Allen Monday night, it was just supposed to be for a short period of time.
