Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have the Warriors in their seventh Western Conference semifinal in 10 seasons and both finally are as healthy as they've been since reaching five straight NBA Finals from 2015-19.
MEMPHIS — Splash Brothers Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson have the Golden State Warriors in their seventh Western Conference semifinal in 10 seasons and both finally are as healthy as they’ve been since reaching five straight NBA Finals from 2015-19.
The third-seeded Warriors, rested with three days off since ousting Denver on Wednesday night, know what they want starting Sunday afternoon in Game 1. Golden State coach Steve Kerr calls this a “role reversal” with the Warriors the younger team then and now the more experienced group with four main players still around from that title squad. And yes, Kerr believes postseason runs help teams forge an identity.
Curry scored at least 30 points in his last two games and three of four coming off the bench in all but Game 5 against the Nuggets to protect his tender left foot. Thompson is thrilled to be back in the playoffs after his 2 1/2-year recovery from surgeries for a torn ACL in his left knee and a torn right Achilles.
Now, Golden State gets to take on a Memphis squad that led the NBA in rebounding during the regular season — and only Milwaukee has hit the boards better so far in the postseason with the Grizzlies averaging 46.3 rebounds per game.
