NBA PLAYOFFS Warriors advance behind Curry Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted May. 16, 2015 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted May. 16, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Stephen Curry practices tough shots every day. The MVP came up with a third-quarter buzzer-beater his coach calls the play of the game. For Golden State, rank it among the Warriors' best shots in decades and it helped put them in their first Western Conference finals since 1976. Curry scored 32 points with that 62-footer among eight 3-pointers, and the Warriors beat the Memphis Grizzlies a third straight game, 108-85 on Friday night. "In a close-out game like that, that's a big turning point and the moment's magnified," said Curry, the NBA's MVP. "I made one in college like that. That's the last I made anywhere past half court and same kind of shot: Loose ball, grab it, throw it up and knock it down." First-year coach Steve Kerr called this a beautiful team win and a big moment for the Warriors. He said Curry was amazing, especially with that shot as the Grizzlies tried to make a run in the third quarter. "It wasn't quite a close-out shot, but it was the play of the game," Kerr said. The Warriors advanced with some of the best shooting in the NBA postseason since 1985, becoming the first team since that year to hit 14 or more 3s in three consecutive playoff games. Curry was 8 of 13 from beyond the arc as the Warriors knocked down their playoff-best 15 3-pointers. Curry, who had 10 assists for his first double-double this postseason, hit the shot of the night after Andre Iguodala blocked Jeff Green's shot near midcourt. Curry grabbed the loose ball and beat the buzzer from the Grizzlies' 3-point line for a 76-68 lead. Klay Thompson had 20 points for Golden State and Draymond Green added 16, Harrison Barnes 13 and Shaun Livingston 10. Marc Gasol led Memphis with 21 points and 15 rebounds. HAWKS 94, WIZARDS 91: At Washington, DeMarre Carroll scored a playoff career-high 25 points and Atlanta made it to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time. After Al Horford went 1 of 2 from the free throw line for a three-point lead, the Wizards inbounded the ball with 6.4 seconds left. They got the ball to Paul Pierce, who won Game 3 on a banked-in buzzer-beater, then put Washington briefly ahead late in Game 5 with a 3. This time, his 3 from the corner swished through, but after a couple of anxious minutes for both teams, a replay review determined it was too late. Once trailing 2-1 in the series, the Hawks won three straight games. Atlanta will host Cleveland in Game 1 of the conference finals on Wednesday night. It's the Hawks' first trip to a conference final since the NBA realigned into conferences in 1970-71. The team had not won two playoff series in a single year since moving to Atlanta for the 1968-69 season. John Wall, who missed Games 2, 3 and 4 with a broken left hand, finished with 20 points, 13 assists and six rebounds. Bradley Beal scored 29 points.
