It was hard to blame the Memphis Grizzlies for using absolutely every opportunity to clap back at Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry, who told ESPN the Dubs’ game plan ahead of Game 5 in Memphis on Wednesday was to “Whoop that trick” — a pot-stirring reference to the Grizzlies’ rallying cry.
Especially after Memphis absolutely dismantled visiting Golden State in a 134-95 blowout that at one point looked like it could end up an all-time NBA playoff beatdown (thankfully the 2009 New Orleans Hornets’ historic 58-point loss ended up being safe by night’s end).
