The Memphis Grizzlies (1 - 1) defeated the Golden State Warriors (1 - 1) 97 - 90 on Tuesday at Oracle Arena in Oakland. After being blown out 101 - 86 in the series opener, not many held out hope that the Grizzlies would be able to keep this one close. The Warriors were 42 - 2 at home this season and it seemed clear that they would continue that dominance. The Grizzlies had other plans though and shut down the high - powered Warrior offense with outstanding defense. The Grizzlies forced the Warriors into 20 turnovers, while also held their shooting percentages to 43 percent from the field and just 23 percent from the three - point line. While many assumed Mike Conley would sit this game out because of the nasty face injury he suffered in the first round of the playoffs, he instead decided to tough it out and wear a protective mask over his face. He had an outstanding return to the lineup and his toughness helped lead the Grizzlies to the surprising win. Even after taking a shot to the face early in the game, Conley went 8 - for - 12 from the field and 3 - for - 6 from the three - point line to score a team - high of 22 points, while also adding three assists over 27 minutes. Zach Randolph was dominant in the post as well, considering he finished with 20 points (7 - 16 FG, 6 - 6 FT), seven rebounds and four assists. It was his second straight strong performance against the Warriors, combining for 40 points and 16 rebounds so far this series. Both Marc Gasol and Courtney Lee reached double figures as well with 15 points apiece. While the box score might not show it, Tony Allen was the X-factor in this game, as he shut down Klay Thompson defensively while notching four steals and recording nine points. With Allen all over him, Thompson scored just 13 points (6 - 15 FG, 1 - 6 3Pt) while he also turned the ball over five times. He just could n't get around the defense and repeatedly was forced into mistakes. But the struggles were n't limited to him, as fellow superstar Stephen Curry struggled as well. Despite receiving the MVP trophy prior to tip - off, Curry shot just 7 - for - 19 from the field and went just 2 - of - 11 from the three - point line to score 19 points. He also had five rebounds and six assists, but it was an overall inefficient game for the league MVP. Both Curry and Thompson will need to play much better for the Warriors, as they now have to go on the road and fight to regain home court advantage. Both Harrison Barnes and Draymond Green were the other starters in double figuers. Barnes finished with 11 points (4 - 8 FG, 0 - 2 3Pt, 3 - 3 FT) and four rebounds, while Green added 14 points (3 - 11 FG, 0 - 3 3Pt, 8 - 10 FT) and 13 rebounds. Very uncharacteristically, the Warriors made just six three - point attempts all game. These two teams will play next on Saturday in Memphis for game three of this best - of - seven series.
