Pre-game:
After a late-game loss to the Los Angeles Clippers last night, the Warriors are 26-26. In Steph Curry’s words, they are “very average,” despite a recent five-game win streak. The Warriors need to be an excellent team to close out the season if they want to avoid the play-in tournament and make the playoffs. Every game is now a must-win and while a win tonight might not make a huge difference in the standings, I think it’ll be good for the vibes to enter the All-Star break with a winning record.
The Warriors beat the Utah Jazz quite thoroughly only a few games ago.
