00:00

Warriors beat Clippers 126-121 in win-or-go-home game after finishing 10th seed with 1-4 record in final stretch.
Steph Curry had a classic performance, starting slow but heating up in the third quarter with huge three-pointers down the stretch.
Draymond Green’s elite defense on Kawhi Leonard was crucial; Kawhi acknowledged his Hall of Fame-level defense after the game.
Warriors face Phoenix Suns tonight with 64.8% odds against them.
Key injuries: Porzingis is game-time decision with ankle, Cryer and Moody out for season, Grayson Allen questionable.
Porzingis expected to be crucial matchup against Suns’ defense; Draymond will need to lock down Devin Booker.
Al Horford made four threes in a row to spark the comeback; GP2 providing hustle plays and easy backdoor cuts.
Pat Spencer continues to be a liability with turnovers and weak defense; team should bench him in favor of Seth Curry or other options.
Bassey (recently signed center) has been solid defensively and in pick-and-roll situations.
If Warriors win tonight, they face OKC in next round; playoffs should be viewed as long season where injuries to other teams could help.
Goal is keeping core healthy (Steph, Draymond, Porzingis, Horford) while eventually getting Jimmy and Moody back.
