EASTERN CONFERENCE
No. 1 GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS (67-15, 4-0) vs. No. 5 MEMPHIS GRIZZLIES (55-27, 4-1)
Season Series: Warriors, 2-1. The teams split two games in Memphis, then Golden State won its lone home game of the season series by a deceptive four-point margin - since the Warriors led by 27 after three and then a bunch of reserves gave just about every bit of the lead away.
Story Line: The moments of truth for Golden State have now arrived. No Warriors team has won two playoff series in the same year since the title season of 1975, and they'll be facing a Memphis team with nothing to lose.
