Warriors-Grizzlies Preview
Tony Allen has played a key role in making things somewhat difficult on the Golden State Warriors, though the Memphis Grizzlies' defensive grip and series lead have been lost since he started hurting. With Allen insisting he'll play, Memphis aims to stave off elimination at FedEx Forum on Friday night while the Warriors look to clinch their first trip to the Western Conference finals in 40 years. The Warriors went 6 for 16 from the field and 0 for 5 from 3-point range when guarded by him in the first three games. The defensive stopper has been a nuisance for All-Stars Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, who are shooting a combined 8-of-19 - including 1 of 7 from 3 - in the series when Allen is the closest defender.
