The Golden State Warriors advanced to the western conference finals after beating the Memphis Grizzlies in 6 games. The Dubs were humiliated in game 5 but they responded with a win in front of their home court. And Klay Thompson continued his impressive performances in Game 6 in the playoffs by scoring 30 points. And he was bombarded in his post-game interview by his teammate, Jordan Poole.
Klay had 30 points on 50 percent shooting and he went 8-14 from the three-point land. And he was interviewed by Malika Andrews in the post-game about his performance. But he was mobbed by Poole who shouted “Game 6 Klay” multiple times. However, the NBA fans feel that Poole may have had another reason to interrupt Klay.

The Warriors had a chance to seal this series in Memphis but they were blown out of the building. Many predicted that the Warriors were gonna lose game 6 as well, and lose another 3-1 lead. But Klay made sure none of that would happen as he had his best game of the series.

The Grizzlies had one hell of a season. Led by Ja Morant and a crew of young stars, they posted their joint-best record in franchise history. They also overcame a gritty Minnesota Timberwolves in the first round. But they ran into the Golden State Warriors in the next round.

The Warriors have championship DNA built into them. They made 5 straight Finals winning 3 titles in the span. After losing Kevin Durant, they went through a couple of seasons of mediocrity. But this season was different as they clinched the third seed and were one of the favorites to win it all. However, they also had their work cut out, as the Grizzlies pushed them to their limit in this series.

But without Ja, the Grizzlies struggled in the late stages of the game. In game 4, they led for the majority of the game, but in the final stages, they just couldn’t get a shot going. And in game 6 as well, they were in the lead but were unable to hang on to it. The Grizzlies will be back though, as this young squad will use this as motivation and come back even stronger the next season.
