Last night, the Memphis Grizzlies saved themselves from elimination by defeating the Golden State Warriors, 134-95. Despite Ja Morant sitting out his second consecutive game, the Grizzlies have now pulled the series up to 3-2 with this win.
The two teams now head toward Friday’s Game 6 in the Western Conference semifinal.
Thanks to Giannis Antetokounmpo’s 40 points and 11 rebounds and Jrue Holiday’s impressive defense, the Milwaukee Bucks now take the lead in the Eastern Conference semifinals, 3-2. Their 110-107 defeat over the Boston Celtics last night was a nail-biting matchup, as the Bucks teetered on the brink of elimination.
Now, the Bucks and Celtics will face off in Game 6 Friday night, which could lead to Milwaukee advancing to the Eastern Conference finals.
