How to Watch Grizzlies at Warriors Game 6 on Friday

The Memphis Grizzlies and the Golden State Warriors will play Game 6 of their Western Conference Semifinals playoff series on Friday. Here’s how to watch, with gametime and TV information, lineups, bios, plus other key information pertaining to both teams.

Up 3-1 in this Western Conference Semifinals series, the Golden State Warriors traveled to Memphis to take on the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 5 with all of the confidence in the world.

Well, the Warriors held their own for most of the first quarter, but things got out of hand really quick on Wednesday night.

After leading by 10 points at the end of the first, the Grizzlies extended their lead to 27 at the half and then they were up as many as 55 points at one point in the third quarter!

Game 5 was a complete disaster for the Warriors and even without Ja Morant playing, the Grizzlies were still able to look like the 56-win team they have been all year long.

Golden State did not show up to play whatsoever in this one and they really thought they could walk into Memphis without a sense of urgency to close out this series. Now, heading into Game 6, they understand what the Grizzlies are capable of and the Warriors will have to bring their “A” game if they are to win this series in six games.

Losing Game 5 by 39 points, the Warriors now head back home to Chase Center, where they are 4-0 in these playoffs, looking for answers on how to get back to the championship-level team that they are in a very short turnaround.

Can Memphis finally steal a game on the road in this series to extend their season?
