Grizzlies ready to go through the best

— --

The Warriors are a league-best 58-13 and closing in on the best regular-season finish in franchise history. But the only team Golden State has yet to beat this season is Memphis, which has the second-best record in the West at 50-22 and won the lone previous matchup between the teams in December.

Conley sees the Warriors as the heavy favorites when the playoffs start.

"You figure if you get out of the first and second round, you're going to run into a team like Golden State, and they've been pretty much the team to beat all season," Conley said. "I haven't seen that waver at all. So it has to be in your mind that you have to go through the best to get what you want."
