The Warriors picked the right time to play good basketball.

Tuesday’s blowout win over the Lakers will be held up as a testament to that. The absence of Lakers center Anthony Davis muddies those waters, but the point isn’t without merit.Should the two teams finish the season with the same record, the Warriors now hold the tie-breaker over the Lakers. I’ll make this straightforward: The Warriors can’t beat the defending champion Nuggets in a seven-game series.
Playoffstatus.com says that if the Warriors do, indeed, win out, they have a 51 percent chance of taking that No. 8 seed.It’s notable, if not downright incredible after six months, that with a hot stretch of play, anchored around Draymond Green on defense and the resurgent play of Klay Thompson, this Warriors team that had to fight so hard to simply make the postseason could find itself in a scenario where it’s one-and-done in the play-in tournament, but in a good way. A win in the 7-vs.
It’s not Oracle Arena, but Chase Center is still a brutal place to play for opposing teams in big games. It’s not championship-quality play, but it’s enough to get close to one, even in a loaded Western Conference.
