The Warriors-Grizzlies beef has officially transcended jersey changes and conference standings. While Golden State relaxes after eliminating Memphis from the 7/8 game Tuesday by a score of 121-116, their former flame Klay Thompson has a chance to twist the knife into the Grizzlies one more time—just wearing Mavericks blue.
The stage is set for a delicious rivalry continuation: Dallas travels to Memphis Friday night in the final game of the Play-In Tournament with the Western Conference’s 8th seed at stake. One game, winner advances to face Oklahoma City, loser goes fishing. And wouldn’t you know it, Captain Petty himself has a front-row ticket.
