Ahead of Game 5, Stephen Curry warned the Memphis Grizzlies that the Golden State Warriors' mission was "Whoop That Trick" to end the season in Memphis. However, words did not come along with actions as GSW were demolished by 39 points, 95-134.

After the heavy loss, Draymond Green acted himself and had some words to say regarding the viral phrase and the match itself.

"We got our ass kicked. That's alright, it happens. When you spew it out, you gotta be willing to take it. Not run from it, embrace it. So I appreciated the crowd tonight and the energy they brought to the game. So if they wanna whoop that trick, we're gonna whoop them together."

In the fourth quarter, the home crowd was celebrating the proud moment and a huge lead (126-80). Despite being on the other side, Draymond Green appeared to enjoy the chant as well.

"Whoop That Trick" is a song from the soundtrack of Hustle & Flow, a movie starring Terrance Howard, who plays a pimp from Memphis who is trying to become a rap star.

The song was played in Game 2 in Memphis when the Grizzlies won.

The song has become a bit of a rallying cry for Memphis fans over the years.
