The Golden State Warriors three-point heavy 134-120 Tuesday night win over the Los Angeles Lakers was critical for many reasons. It was a positive data point as the Dubs try to prove that they can compete on the biggest stage this year. It was a confidence-building road victory against a team they’re likely to face in the Play-In Tournament. And it inched the Warriors closer to making a push up the standings.
The night ended the way it began, with the Warriors occupying the 10th seed, the Lakers the ninth seed, and the Sacramento Kings the eighth seed.
