SAN FRANCISCO, CA. – The Golden State Warriors earned a berth in the Western Conference Finals following a 110-96 victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 6 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The Warriors have advanced to the Conference Finals in six of the last eight seasons, marking the first time in 30 years a Western Conference team has accomplished the feat (the Los Angeles Lakers made nine Conference Finals appearances in a 10-year span from 1982-91).
Golden State is the first team in either conference to make six appearances in an eight-year span since the Detroit Pistons did so in six-straight seasons from 2003-08.
