With scenarios abound, Steve Kerr's Golden State Warriors will treat Sunday's regular-season finale as 'a playoff game'

SAN FRANCISCO -- As his Golden State Warriors prepare for Sunday's all important regular-season finale against the Memphis Grizzlies, Warriors coach Steve Kerr wants his team to have a clear mindset about exactly how much is at stake. With a win, the Warriors will finish the regular season with a 39-33 record, a game ahead of the Grizzlies for the eighth spot in the Western Conference -- allowing for an easier path into postseason play.

"We're really looking at this [as] we've got to win two out of our next three games," Kerr said after Saturday's practice.
