With the Golden State Warriors up 1-0 against the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference semifinals, we explore three things to watch for in Game 2.
Up 1-0 in the Western Conference semifinals against the Memphis Grizzlies, it may seem as if the Golden State Warriors are playing with house money heading into Game 2. However, the Warriors know just how quickly a series can change on a dime.
And based on how close Game 1 was, both the Warriors and Grizzlies have to feel good about the opportunity that is in front of them for Game 2. But now that Golden State struck first blood, the expectation is that Memphis and coach Taylor Jenkins will make some adjustments.
Steve Kerr and the Warriors may as well, but perhaps just having Draymond Green not foul out in the second quarter is something that drastically changes the final score margin between the two teams.
After what transpired in Game 1, we explore three things that are worth keeping a close eye on in Game 2 between the Warriors and Grizzlies.
