“Game 6 Klay” made an appearance Friday night, scoring a team-high 30 points.
SAN FRANCISCO – The Chase Center crowd chanted “Whoop that trick! Whoop that trick!” late in the fourth quarter after the Warriors pulled away with a double-digit lead.
But it was Golden State who put the young and athletic Grizzlies in their place Friday night in Game 6, defeating them 110-96. The Warriors started Kevon Looney for the first time this series. He replaced Jonathan Kuminga to give Golden State an aggressive rebounder and veteran defender to go up against Grizzlies center Steven Adams. The insertion of Looney created a more lively start to the game for the Warriors after slow starts hindered them in previous games.
Looney was by far the best rebounder on the court. He grabbed a career-high 22 rebounds and pulled down as many as the entire Grizzlies team in the first quarter. His 11 opening-quarter rebounds were the most for any quarter for him in his career and matched a Warriors playoff record set by Larry Smith in 1987.
Desmond Bane had 25 points, Dillon Brooks added 30 and Jaren Jackson Jr. recorded 12 points and four blocks.
