Both the Golden State Warriors and the Memphis Grizzlies are gearing up for what could be a deciding game on Saturday. While the Warriors downplay the importance of the competition between the two teams, the Grizzlies see it differently. Despite the fact that the Warriors have won four championships compared to the Grizzlies' zero, the Grizzlies still view every game against the Warriors as a competition.
The history between the two teams includes harsh fouls, trash talk, and other theatrics that add an extra element of drama to their games. Earlier this season, Ja Morant posted a video clip of Jordan Poole attempting to strip the ball from him and later deleting it. The talk of trash and hot moments may be entertaining for viewers, but the Grizzlies are focused on advancing past the struggling Warriors in the elimination race.
While Morant will remain sidelined due to suspension, the Grizzlies are confident in their ability to defeat the stumbling Warriors, who have a road record of 7-27 this season. As both teams prepare for the final game of the regular season, Warriors' Steve Kerr said playing against the talented Grizzlies is always tough and requires a win in Game A.
