The Golden State Warriors answered the call as they played "Dubs" Basketball and gets out of Fed Ex Forum with a 1-1 split. Yes Under Armour's Pitch Man and 2014-15 "Fight for Mo" (Maurice Podoloff Trophy for NBA M.V.P.) Recipient Stephen Curry was nowhere close to be an Earthling on this night but is he ever in touch with Planet Earth handling and shooting that Spalding Orange?

Curry's game-high 33 points on 11 of 22 from the field and 4 for 9 from deep led a 28-20 1st frame lead for "Dubs". Then a 33-24 outburst in the 2nd frame pretty much put the game away as "Dubs" led by 17 at the break and turned the Grind House into Warriors Ground.



Every time the Grizz made a mini-run in the 2nd half the Warriors would hit a money ball or get an easy look in transition. Draymond Green added 16 points and ten boards with Klay Thompson adding 15 and Harrison Barnes a dozen. "Dubs" shoot in the 40s which was more than solid considering the Grizz shot below 40% from the field and below 30% from deep.

Memphis had five players in double figures but it was "Dubs" taking away Mike Conley effectiveness that played a huge role in this one. Marc Gasol led the Grit and Grind with 19 points and ten boards with six helpers. Z-Bo added a dozen points with eleven boards as Memphis shooting woes were heard loud and clear in this one.

Now we head back to the East Bay for Game #5 on "Hump Day" Wednesday May 13 at 10:30pm ET. Expect "Dub Nation" in Gold to be really really loud in that one...
