OAKLAND-With the Memphis Grizzlies attempting to make the NBA playoffs, the Golden State Warriors rained on their parade.
Stephen Curry scored 30 points and Reggie Williams added 25 off the bench, as the Warriors defeated the Grizzlies 128-110 at Oracle Arena.
Monta Ellis scored 21 points, as the Warriors put an end to their modest three-game losing streak and put a damper on the Grizzlies one last run at the San Antonio Spurs for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
Rudy Gay led the Grizzlies with 21 points, as they never were able to overcome a 27-point deficit and were swept by the Warriors at Oracle Arena this season.
Despite being swept by the Warriors at Oracle Arena, the Grizzlies were to sweep the Warriors on their home court at FedEx Forum.
The Warriors scored 78 points in the first half, a season high and were the most points that the Grizzlies ever gave up in a first half in team history, breaking the record of 77 points scored by the Washington Wizards during the 2006 season.
