Warriors

They go wide as Walker tips on to Milne, with the Rabbitohs getting into the 10. Nikorima has the ball, but kicks it dead for his first act as a Rabbitoh.

All the NRL action as the Warriors take on the Rabbitohs. ‌. Magic Round, NRL. Suncorp Stadium, Brisbane.

Reece Walsh and Jazz Tevaga were standouts for the Warriors, with Marcelo Montoya also strong in his comeback match. The sight of Harris on the sideline should have lifted Warriors fans, but the Rabbitohs had already added to their lead before he could come on, with Blake Taaffe latching on to a Walker grubber in the 23rd minute. It was their worst first half of the season, as the Rabbitohs scored five tries and could have had two or three more, with the Warriors all over the place defensively.

Cody Walker has thrived under the burden of the South Sydney captaincy as he drove the Rabbitohs to a nervy 32-30 NRL win over the Warriors.

The only blemishes for Souths were a shoulder injury to backrower Jacob Host as well as allowing Warriors winger Marcelo Montoya to go in on the stroke of half-time. Souths had begun in electric fashion, with Walker swinging to his unfavoured right side and sending a cut-out pass in the direction of Taane Milne to score in the corner with five minutes played. With the Rabbitohs down to 12 players, the Warriors scored through Daejarn Asi and Marcelo Montoya to trail by two points with a minute to go and leave Souths fighting to keep them out.

The first half we just made it easier for them. The second half we did what we spoke about doing. His front-row partner Tom Burgess (147 metres) set a platform for the side throughout the contest. We put a bit of pressure on them. The Cody Walker-Alex Johnston combination is one of the best in the game with the Rabbitohs five-eighth sending his winger over with a perfect cut-out pass in the opening half to help set up the win. A try to Jazz Tevaga in the 70th minute got the Warriors back to within 14 points with 10 minutes remaining before South Sydney were forced to defend with 12 for the final six minutes of the game after Damien Cook was sin-binned for a professional foul.

Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. On attack, if there was a wrong option to take, that’s the one they’d pick. The Warriors’ top eight hopes are quickly disappearing.

"I have a lot of respect for every single guy on the team in terms of how they are built as a group, the individual talent," Curry said. "They have a lot of energy, a lot of potential in terms of winning at the highest level. Following the game, Warriors guard Stephen Curry praised the Grizzlies' young talent and capacity to contend in the coming seasons. The Grizzlies lost their star third-year point guard Ja Morant following their Game 3 loss to the Warriors in San Francisco during which Morant suffered a bone bruise to his right knee. "Ja is one of the best point guards in this league -- you guys know that -- obviously it would change, but we made do with what we had." "They know that we are going to come every single year."

That also was the second straight game where the Grizzlies scored more points in the paint than the Warriors. Adams has grabbed 28 rebounds -- 16 on defense and 12 on offense -- the last two games combined. Looney, while playing slightly over 15 minutes per game so far in the second round, has averaged 5.6 points and 5.4 rebounds per game.

Kiwi centre Steven Adams' NBA season is over, with his Memphis Grizzlies side defeated by the Golden State Warriors in the Western Conference semifinals.

Game 7 of that series is Monday in Phoenix. Klay Thompson knocked down eight three-pointers on the way to 30 points, Stephen Curry scored 29 with six threes, and Golden State – eliminated by Memphis in the play-in tournament last year — withstood a testy series to advance to the conference finals for the first time since 2019, when the franchise reached their fifth straight NBA finals before losing to Toronto. Adams scored four points and grabbed 10 rebounds in 28 minutes in a 110-96 defeat in Game 6, having limped off before halftime with a right ankle injury before returning to little success as the Warriors wrapped up a 4-2 series win.

After sleep walking for much of the first three quarters, the Golden State Warriors woke up to send Memphis home and end their season.

They will play the winner of the Phoenix Suns and Dallas Mavericks series, which is primed for a Game 7 Sunday. With a 110-96 win, Golden State eliminates the Grizzlies and heads to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in three years. After being ran out of the gym in Game 5, falling behind by over 50 points, the Warriors looked to re-establish themselves at Chase Center Friday night.

Klay Thompson came up clutch once again in a Game 6, and the Warriors advanced to the Western Conference finals with a 110-96 win over the Grizzlies.

If the Mavs beat the Suns in Game 7, the Warriors get to start the next series at home. To counter the size of Steven Adams and help get the Grizzlies off the glass, Brown put center Kevon Looney back into the starting lineup for the first time since Game 4 of the first round. The Warriors as a whole outrebounded the Grizzlies 70-44. The Warriors always seek a sweep, but they know what's about to happen when they play a Game 6. A new chapter of Thompson's Game 6 heroics were written Friday night, and the Warriors needed all of them. After falling flat on their face two nights ago, the Warriors came out hungry and with a much better sense of urgency.

Warriors coach Nathan Brown says he hasn't liked what he's seen from the club over the past few weeks.

We went for the early kick and they got it back early, then we never had the ball for 14-15 minutes. Like elite athletes at their peak, our sports journalists are highly trained in the art of news. “We can look at the comeback and nearly getting there. So we're asking you to support us with more than your attention. I would be disappointed if that’s what we become. “So the line speed comes as a product of the fatigue, where if you look at the second half of the game when we caused an arm wrestle, you could see it with their forwards and line speed.

The splash brothers combined for 59 points to lead Golden State to a 110-96 win in Game 6 and with it, a ticket to the Western Conference finals.

Game 7 of that series is Sunday in Phoenix. Draymond Green contributed 14 points, 16 rebounds and eight assists. Klay Thompson knocked down eight 3-pointers on the way to 30 points, Stephen Curry scored 29 with six 3s, and the Golden State Warriors advanced to the Western Conference finals by beating the Memphis Grizzlies 110-96 in Game 6 on Saturday.

The return of 'Game 6 Klay' and the contributions of Kevon Looney help send Golden State to the Western Conference finals.

It took everything we had to win that game, including the fan support and the noise that was in the arena.” And they got the last laugh with the “Whoop That Trick” anthem. The night ended with Warriors fans singing “Whoop That Trick,” mocking the Grizzlies’ anthem. “That means a lot when your teammates want you out on the court with them,” Looney said. But with the Grizzlies having a size advantage due to Steven Adams’ bulk and length, the Warriors were concerned about a sluggish early start. “The toughest and most competitive player I’ve ever played with, and it showed up tonight. “I used to take it for granted and just think that’s the way it’s supposed to be, like we’re supposed to make the Western Conference finals,” Draymond Green said. “I didn’t go to sleep last night thinking of scoring 30 or shooting the ball well,” Thompson said. “One of the toughest guys and most competitive guys I’ve ever played with,” Green said before correcting himself. And though he had 30 points against the Toronto Raptors in Game 6 of the 2019 NBA Finals, Thompson’s night ended with both a Finals loss and an ACL injury that sidelined him for the 2019-20 season. “I love the moments. The Warriors had just eliminated the Memphis Grizzlies with a decisive 110-96 Game 6 win on Friday at Chase Center, leaving them with a feeling that had become painfully unfamiliar the past two years.

They did not, largely because Kevon Looney, making his first start in these Western Conference semifinals – at the request of Draymond Green and Stephen Curry – ...

A number of Warriors made huge contributions, particularly in the fourth quarter, after they shed the turnovers. “And then, the next two he looked like he was worse. “I just wanted to go after every board, especially in the beginning of the game,” Looney said. “We'll figure out how to score the basketball. That was my goal at the start of the game, so I got off to a good start.” This was the third different starting lineup for the Warriors in this series. Green held Jaren Jackson Jr. scoreless in the fourth. They made it clear they were going to beat us up, and they were doing a good job of it. Gary Payton II started Games 1 and 2, in which he sustained a fractured elbow. The Warriors' total of 70 rebounds, indicative of their aggression and the sub-40-percent shooting of both teams, is Golden State’s highest since 1969. In the fourth quarter, which began with Golden State holding a 78-77 lead, Looney pulled down eight rebounds – six on the offensive end. Looney played a career-high 35 minutes, about 10 more than the Warriors have ever been comfortable with, considering his medical history.

While Golden State produced one of its iconic offensive stretches in Friday's 110–96 series clinching win against Memphis, Dillon Brooks provided the ...

“Ja is one of the best point guards in this league—you guys know that—obviously it would change, but we made do with what we had,” Brooks said. “Going against them was amazing, it is big for us… However, Brooks believes last year’s play-in game experience and this year’s back-and-forth battle with the Warriors provides Memphis with valuable learning lessons.

The Grizzlies guard called his showdown with the Warriors star his “favorite matchup.”

Morant had an opportunity to reflect on the matchup against Curry and the Warriors on Saturday, as he called Curry his “favorite matchup” and that he was “looking forward to more battles” with Curry in the future. In the fashion of the Warriors of old, it was the “Splash Brothers” of Klay Thompson and Steph Curry that propelled Golden State forward in the playoffs once again, one step closer to a return to the NBA finals. The Warriors defeated the Grizzlies, 110–96, in Game 6 of their series on Friday night to advance to the Western Conference Finals for the first time in three seasons.

Nathan Brown preferred to focus on his team's dire first-half efforts against the Rabbitohs on Saturday.

When Brooks was speaking to the media after the regular-season game, he brought up Warriors forward Andre Iguodala, who was traded to Memphis following the 2019 ...

And Brooks didn't help himself in the series as he was ejected three minutes into Game 2 for a Flagrant Foul Penalty 2 on Gary Payton II, who suffered a fractured left elbow and ligament damage on the play. I'm just happy I'm a part of this and happy I figured out how to stay here in Memphis." The veteran forward missed the entire series due to a neck injury. I've been here the longest so I'm just happy to see each player grow in their role and to try to exceed their role, which is amazing to see. Send him back to the Warriors and let him do his thing over there." "He's said a lot of crazy things," Curry told Amick. "He called himself a dynasty already, so you've got to figure.
