Warriors Clinch 2019 NBA Playoff Berth with Win over Paul George, Thunder

The back-to-back defending NBA champions will have a chance to protect their throne after the Golden State Warriors officially wrapped up a playoff spot with 110-88 victory over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Saturday.

Stephen Curry came up huge in Golden State's playoff-clinching win, scoring a game-high 33 points and besting the 29 points scored by OKC's Paul George. Curry also helped hold Westbrook to seven points on 2-of-16 shooting.

Golden State has now reached the playoffs in seven consecutive seasons.

Of course, Steve Kerr's squad has its sights set on bigger things than just reaching the postseason, given the amount of success it has achieved in recent years.
