The Warriors aced their first true test of the post-season. After losing two games, home court advantage and their flow (but never their confidence), the Warriors answered in a must-win situation with their best all-around performance of the post-season. They played aggressively for 48 minutes, creatively turned the Grizzlies’ strengths into weaknesses, and returned to the team-oriented motion offense that has been their identity all season. The series is tied and there are still tough games to play, but in one triumphant burst, the Warriors seemed to have flipped the narrative. The Grizzlies have lost their air of defensive invincibility and the physicality that defines their play.
