The Golden State Warriors went into Charlotte and got a big win over the struggling Hornets to retain the 10th seed in the Western Conference’s race to the playoffs. At this point, the Dubs are focused on making sure they force their way into the play-in tournament and survive the battles between the 7-10 seeds to earn the right to make the postseason.
And if there was ever incentive for these guys to get as locked in as they possibly can, it’s the upstart Houston Rockets are breathing down their neck to try and snatch that 10th seed away from the Golden Empire.
