NBA, all regular season verdicts: Warriors in the playoffs
All 30 NBA franchises on the court overnight for the last game of the long regular season. Now the postseason grid is set, both in terms of the playoffs and the playoffs-in.
In the East, go to the playoffs as the No. 1 seed Cleveland. Next come Boston (2), New York (3), Indiana (4), Milwaukee (5) and Detroit (6). The four franchises that will instead play for the playoffs in the East are Orlando (7), Atlanta (8), Chicago (9) and Miami (10).
In the West, on the other hand, OKC comes in as the No. 1 seed.There are also Houston (2), LA Lakers (3), Denver (4), LA Clippers (5) and Minnesota (6). Going to the play-in are Golden State (7), Memphis (8), Sacramento (9) and Dallas (10). The Warriors lost the last game against the LA Clippers in the overtime (124-119 the final), despite the usual huge performance of Curry, who finished with 36 points on the scoreboard.
These are the challenges valid for the play-in: Orlando Magic–Atlanta Hawks, Chicago Bulls – Miami Heat, Golden State Warriors –Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings – Dallas Mavericks. Play-ins will begin starting next April 16. Chewing bitterly are Philadelphia and Phoenix, certainly the franchises that have disappointed the most this season and not just because of an injury issue. Disappointing season also for San Antonio who, after the mandatory stop to Wembanyama, have practically disappeared from the radar.
