Game Notes
- “1. NBA teams that take a 2-1 lead in a seven-game playoff series go on to win the series 81.7 percent (294-66) of the time.
2. NBA teams that take a 2-1 lead in a seven-game series WITHOUT having home-court advantage win the series 66.4 percent (77-39) of the time.
3. Since returning to the postseason in 2011, the Griz are 6-2 overall in Game 3s and 5-1 when Game 3 is played in FedExForum.
4. Golden State was an NBA-best 28-13 on the road during the regular season and then the Warriors won two games in New Orleans during the opening round. Memphis, however, has won all three of its home playoff games. The Warriors dropped nine consecutive games in FedExForum before winning two of their past three visits.” — Ronald Tillery, Memphis Commercial Appeal
