Storylines

The Warriors got the job done in an ugly Game 4, as both teams shot poorly in Golden State's 101-98 victory. Stephen Curry has been leading this Warriors team despite shooting below his incredibly high standards from 3-point range. :

So how's he doing it? The old fashioned way: inside the arc and at the free-throw line, where the greatest scorers from eras gone by made their living. Entering play on Wednesday, Curry is averaging 7.6 free-throw attempts per game in the playoffs, the highest mark of his postseason career and a 62-percent uptick on his regular-season free-throw frequency. Curry is forcing the action downhill, as the threat of his 3-point shot, whether he's making them at a consistent clip or not, is always going to create paths for penetration.'

Prediction

The Grizzlies were arguably the most fun team in the NBA during the regular season, but Memphis' run comes to an end on Wednesday night as the Warriors shoot better and close out the series on the road. Pick: Warriors
