SAN FRANCISCO -- As the Golden State Warriors go through the final games of the regular season, they are operating with one very clear goal in mind: Finish in the top six in the Western Conference.
"We definitely want to stay out of the play-in tournament," Stephen Curry said following the Warriors' 120-112 win over the Philadelphia 76ers on Friday night. "You never know how that can go -- a single game here or there."
"That is dangerous," Draymond Green added. "We'd much rather avoid that."
After Friday night's action, the Warriors currently sit in the sixth seed in the Western Conference, just a few percentage points behind the Phoenix Suns in fifth, however the Suns have the tiebreaker over the Warriors.
