Warriors whip Grizzlies 98-78, take 3-2 series lead

Down and out just days earlier, the Golden State Warriors suddenly look alive and well again. Stephen Curry turned in an MVP-worthy performance, Klay Thompson snapped out of his shooting funk and the Warriors rolled past the Memphis Grizzlies 98-78 on Wednesday night to take a 3-2 lead in their Western Conference semifinal series. Thompson scored 21 points, and Harrison Barnes had 14 as the Warriors won their second straight game in impressive fashion. Golden State can close out the Grizzlies in Game 6 on Friday night in Memphis.
