Just 10 days ago, I took a look at where the Golden State Warriors stood in the Western Conference standings. At the time, the Dubs occupied the 10th seed — the final spot in the play-in tournament. But they were 3.5 games ahead of the first team out — the Houston Rockets.
The Rockets had slid to 31-35, and I wrote this about them:
Watch out for Houston next year. They could be very good! Until then, the Dubs will try and use them for an April win after the Rockets have likely turned the page to next year.
