Thus, the Golden State Warriors are back in the NBA conference semifinals after two years out of the postseason. Stephen Curry came on as a starter in Game 5, unlike the previous four, as he was undergoing physical reconditioning after a foot injury that left him out of action for at least a month.

Back, he was once again decisive for the team’s victory and will again be instrumental in the semifinal match against Grizzlies or Timberwolves. It is also worth remembering that the Warriors do not have a positive record against either team in the regular season, being 1-3 against Memphis and 2-2 against Minnesota.
