Grizzlies point guard Mike Conley returned in Game 2 and helped Memphis hold the Warriors to just 90 points in a seven-point victory. Conley had 22 points and three assists in his return while Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson, the Warriors' "Splash Bros.," were held to a dreadful 3-of-17 from 3-point range.
Conley and Tony Allen terrorized Curry and Thompson in Game 2, but don't expect to limit their effectiveness to that extent so easily. "What we can do is to try and make things difficult," Allen said. "We know they're going to come back firing, but we have to focus on playing hard for 48 minutes."
That task was lessened for Conley, who said having three days off has worked wonders for his continued recovery from both a facial fracture and a foot injury.
"This is going to be huge for me just having some time to really concentrate on myself, on my body, eating habits and all things that you normally don't get with one day off between games," Conley said.
The Warriors aren't panicking after their off night, and instead seem to be looking forward to a tough challenge. "For us, this is some of the first adversity that we've faced," Thompson said.
"We've got a couple options: we can hang our heads or we can go in there and fight in Memphis. We're the best road team in the NBA for a reason."
