The Golden State Warriors traveled east to face the Sacramento Kings on Tuesday night in the NBA Play-In Tournament. The winner would get an opportunity to face the New Orleans Pelicans and advance to the playoffs. After the Dubs ended the Kings season last year, Sacramento returned the favor this time around, defeating the Warriors 118-94. Golden State head coach Steve Kerr opted to start rookie Trayce Jackson-Davis in the front court alongside Draymond Green. While Jackson-Davis has had a...
The final day of the 2023-24 NBA regular season is here. And, just as the league hoped when designing the schedule, there are a lot of important games with critical playoff seeding implications. The Golden State Warriors are currently sitting in the No. 10 spot after losing a nail-biter to the New Orleans Pelicans on Friday night a game that really hurt their standing in the Play-In Tournament seeding. The Warriors, Los Angeles Lakers, and Sacramento Kings are jockeying for position and will...
The Golden State Warriors lost to the New Orleans Pelicans 114-109 on Friday night. It was a very tough loss considering the implications it had on the standings — with a win, the Dubs would have controlled their fate, and been in position to earn the No. 8 seed in the Play-In Tournament with a win over the Utah Jazz on Sunday. Instead, they couldn’t overcome their turnover issues — or the Pelicans’ unbelievable three-point shooting — and their fourth-quarter comeback fell just short. I don’t...
The Golden State Warriors host the New Orleans Pelicans tonight, in a game that has massive Play-In Tournament implications. Both teams are playing very well: the Dubs have won nine of their last 10 games, and the Pels have won three in a row, all on the road. But both teams played grueling games last night, and could be without a few key contributors. Whoever wins is going to have to dig deep to make it happen. Here’s the full injury report. Doubtful — Gary Payton II (left calf tightness) The...
The Golden State Warriors notched a huge victory on Thursday night, beating the Portland Trail Blazers 100-92 to move into a three-way tie with the Sacramento Kings and Los Angeles Lakers in the Western Conference standings. Because of the tiebreakers, the Warriors moved past the Lakers and into the ninth seed, but still need to gain a game on Sacramento to climb into the eighth seed. The Warriors, who were playing without Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, didn’t exactly earn style points for...
The Golden State Warriors defeated the Portland Trail Blazers 100-92 on Thursday night, furthering their late-season push for better seeding in the Western Conference play-in tournament. With the victory, the Warriors still control their own destiny for the nine-seed and will have a chance to secure the eighth seed as well. The Dubs opted to rest Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, who are dealing with minor knee ailments, on the first half of a back-to-back, making the bet that Steph Curry and...
The end of the 2023-24 NBA regular season is just a few days away. That means that, for the teams still jockeying for playoff position, every game they play is important. And not only every game they play, but a lot of games that other teams play, too. And that’s certainly the case for the Golden State Warriors. Today is a big day for the Dubs, and we’ve got you covered on what you should be watching for. First, let’s look at the standings: The Warriors can no longer catch the Phoenix Suns....
The Golden State Warriors are getting ready to face the Portland Trail Blazers in a very important Thursday night game. To an extent, the Warriors control their own fate right now — if they win out, they’ll jump at least the Los Angeles Lakers in the standings. So needless to say, a victory in their final road game of the regular season is very important. But it won’t be easy, as the Warriors are down a pair of starters. In between Tuesday’s win and Thursday afternoon, Draymond Green and Klay...
With no Steph Curry in order to allow him to rest — and facing a Utah Jazz team that was on an 11-game losing streak — the scoring reins for the Golden State Warriors had to be taken by either Klay Thompson or the returning Jonathan Kuminga. The latter was coming off a six-game absence and was using this game to get his legs under him. Based on his stat line against the Jazz, it didn’t look like he was just warming up: 21 points on 9-of-11 shooting from the field. He scored with his typical...
Sometimes, all you really need is just one Splash Brother. Sure, two is ideal, but it’s not always necessary. On Sunday night, against a Utah Jazz team that has already turned their attention towards the offseason, the Golden State Warriors only needed one of their Hall of Fame duo. With Steph Curry resting, the Warriors turned to Klay Thompson on Sunday, and he delivered in a big way. It took a few minutes for the Warriors machine to get running, though. Down two starters (Andrew Wiggins was...
The Dallas Mavericks didn’t have Luka Doncic. That just gave Kyrie Irving room to take over the game and more chances for P.J. Washington to drill big shots in a 108-106 win over the Golden State Warriors. The Warriors had a real chance to win a game where they looked dead in the water 101-92 with less than four minutes to go. But Steph Curry scored nine of his 28 points in the final 3:36, rallying to tie the game with 13 seconds to go. But on the other end, Washington got a go-ahead lay-in with...
The Golden State Warriors are set for one of their biggest games of the year, when they visit the Dallas Mavericks in a rematch of Tuesday’s impressive victory. With a win, the Warriors would have seven victories in a row and, more importantly, would climb closer to rising up in the Play-In Tournament seeding. Both teams, however, have some notable names that may be missing. Here’s the full injury report. Out — Dario Šarić (right knee lateral joint line pain) Another game that Super Dario will...
