The NBA play-in games are coming
Stephen Curry’s team won 123 to 116 to finish in the tenth position in the Western Conference, with 46 wins and 36 losses. The star point guard did not play in the game, nor did small forward Draymond Green, so they can be well-rested for the play-in.
With little time to recharge, the Warriors will play tomorrow against the Sacramento Kings in the mini-tournament that defines the last teams for the playoffs. The winner will play against the loser of the match between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans to determine who enters as the eighth seed in the conference and starts the playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
