Unsurprisingly the Golden State Warriors are up to their old tricks at home in Game 1 of the Western Conference Semi-Finals against the Memphis Grizzlies including this great alley-oop.

If you thought the Golden State Warriors would be rusty after an eight day layoff following their first-round sweep of the New Orleans Pelicans, think again. Instead they came out guns ‘ablazing in their first game in over a week, aided by the raucous and overjoyed Oracle Arena crowd, and the best and most exciting player in the league today, Stephen Curry.

He simply picked up where he left off from the last round, and the regular season–which he’s expected to gain the NBA MVP from–including one of the most incredible alley-oop passes you’ll see this postseason.

As has been the case in almost every home game the Warriors have played this year–they’ve lost only twice on their home floor in 43 contests (including the playoffs)–the Memphis Grizzlies had no answer on this play.

The normally defensive-minded Grizzlies gave up 51 points in the first 19 minutes of this game while allowing the Warriors to shoot 69 percent in that time frame.

That’s what the Warriors do, especially at home. No team is a match for them, especially with their MVP point guard throwing ridiculous alley-oops like this one to a trailing Andrew Bogut.
