It feels like the Golden State Warriors and the Los Angeles Lakers are fated to play a game of hot potato with the 10th and 9th seeds this season.
After beating the Lakers two nights ago to climb back up to 9th, they have fallen back to 10th after losing to the New York Knicks at home, while the Lakers took care of business by blowing out the Atlanta Hawks — not exactly the sequence of events they were hoping for upon returning home.
It also makes the possibility of them climbing up to the 7th/8th play-in bracket much murkier.
