The Golden State Warriors will probably beat the New Orleans Pelicans in the first round of the Western Conference playoffs, but they’ve done an exceedingly good job at making the task as difficult for themselves as possible.
Allegations emerged last week before the teams met in New Orleans about the Warriors calling the game “a scrimmage”—a comment that really ticked off Anthony Davis and company.
The Pelicans went on to beat Golden State 103-100, and now, with New Orleans grabbing the No. 8 seed in the West, they’ll face the Warriors at Oracle Arena on Saturday for a playoff showdown.
