The Warriors are leading the series 2-1 after crushing the Grizzlies by a score of 142-112 in Game 3 on Saturday evening. 

The first two games of the series had been very close in Memphis, so Saturday was the first time that there was a blowout in the series.

The Warriors beat the Denver Nuggets in just five games in the first-round of the playoffs, and they are the third seed in the Western Conference.

Meanwhile, the Grizzlies beat the Minnesota Timberwolves in six games in the first-round of the playoffs, and they are the second seed in the west. 

A win for the Grizzlies on Monday will tie up the series at 2-2, while a loss will put them in a 3-1 hole.
