It’s official. The Golden State Warriors have clinched the sixth seed in the Western Conference and are slated to face the Los Angeles Clippers in the first round of the playoffs, assuming the Oklahoma City Thunder beat the Detroit Pistons on Wednesday night. The Dubs will head into their season finale against the Denver Nuggets looking to build some momentum heading into the playoffs, though a few players ...

In the penultimate game of the regular season, the Warriors will travel home to face the Minnesota Timberwolves. After a tough overtime loss to the Portland Trail Blazers on Sunday night, the Dubs find themselves only a half game ahead of the Dallas Mavericks for the West’s sixth seed, though with any first-round matchup promising to be tough, it doesn’t particularly matter where Golden State finishes. The ...

With less than a week to go in the regular season, the Warriors are in solid shape in the Western Conference playoff race, but they still have to close the deal. Now, in the final five games of the season, the Warriors will look to win the games they’re expected to win to ensure that the first 77 contests weren’t for naught. With the finish line in sight, next up will be the Denver Nuggets, with whom the Du ...

After years of defensive futility, it’s really quite astonishing just how much of a 180 the Golden State Warriors have done this season. As one of only four teams in the NBA with a defensive efficiency under 100, Golden State has used defense to propel itself into a playoff position, and in the waning moments of the NBA regular season, the Warriors will look to cement their spot. Next up for the Dubs will b ...

The Warriors didn’t have much time to celebrate their overtime victory over the Mavericks on Tuesday because they quickly had to turn their attention to a far more imposing (and just as crucial) challenge: facing the San Antonio Spurs at the AT&T Center on Wednesday night. If there were to be one game this season in which the Dubs had almost no chance of winning, this would be the one. It’s hard to pick ...

Now that Steph Curry’s 54-point performance against the Knicks is a bit more of a distant memory, we can focus on the fundamentals of the Warriors-Knicks matchup instead of overly reminiscing about the Warriors point guard’s career-best performance. (Though that’s fun to do too.) More recently, the Dubs beat the Knicks handily earlier this year, behind another impressive performance by the Warriors backcour ...

The Golden State Warriors have won two straight games and seven of their last nine overall, and they’ll have a chance to build on their winning ways when they go up against the Milwaukee Bucks Thursday night in the second contest of a five-game homestand. The Warriors have won just twice in their last nine matchups against the Bucks, including a 101-80 win on Jan. 7, but there’s nothing to suggest the Dubs ...

The Warriors edged the Trail Blazers on Sunday by a razor-thin margin, but it was only thanks to ridiculous shooting performances in the second half by Steph Curry and Klay Thompson, including 28 points from Curry. Both players were able to score 15 points in the fourth quarter, but the Dubs will likely want to avoid relying on hot performances down the stretch like that come Tuesday night. Luckily for the ...
