JUST IN: Warriors come back from behind, eliminating the Nuggets, 102-98; Advance to second round of NBA Playoffs.
If the Grizzlies win Game 6 on Friday night, Game 1 against the Warriors would take place Sunday at 12:30 p.m. PT in Memphis.
While the Nuggets won three of the four regular-season matchups against the Warriors, Draymond Green missed all of those games. He was healthy for the playoffs and so was Steph Curry, who returned for Game 1 and turned himself into the greatest Sixth Man in NBA history, coming off the bench in the first four games as Jordan Poole thrived in the starting lineup. Curry re-entered the starting lineup in the deciding fifth game, with Kevon Looney moving to the bench.
With their main rotational players all healthy for the first time this season, the Warriors were able to unleash a new version of their famous"Death Lineup," putting Curry, Poole, Green, Klay Thompson and Andrew Wiggins on the court at the same time. That unit was a plus-26 through the first four games and started together in Game 5.
