After eliminating the Denver Nuggets in game five of the first round of the postseason, the Golden State Warriors were waiting for their opponent for the second-round series.
Following a win in game five, the Memphis Grizzlies needed just one more victory over the Minnesota Timberwolves to set up a date in round two with the Warriors.
On Friday, the Grizzlies surged past the Timberwolves in Minnesota 114-106 to punch a ticket to the Western Conference semi-finals. Demond Bane and Dillon Brooks each dropped 23 points to help push the Grizzlies past Karl Anthony-Towns and Anthony Edwards.
