Curry and his teammates will need to win not one, but two road elimination games in order to secure a spot in the NBA playoffs. The first game takes place on Tuesday night against the Sacramento Kings. Golden State had to work hard to earn the tenth seed in the Western Conference this season.
Some Warriors fans have been fantasizing of the team’s dynastic run from the mid-2010s to 2022, when the team won four titles, because of all of the difficulties the team has had this season. Festus Ezeli, a pivotal player on the 2010 Warriors team, was there for the club’s victory over the Utah Jazz on Sunday in the regular season finale.
When the Warriors and Kings play on Tuesday, it will be their second NBA postseason matchup in as many years; the only distinction is that it will take place in the Play-In round rather than the actual playoffs. This meeting represents a downfall for two teams that were among the best in the conference a year ago but are now considered to have very little chance of competing in the postseason, even if they manage to sneak in by winning two games.
All of the struggles that the Warriors have endured this season have had some fans dreaming of the team’s dynastic run in the mid-2010’s extending up until 2022, in which the team won four championships over that span. One of the key members of that 2010’s Warriors team was center Festus Ezeli, who at the Warriors’ regular season finale on Sunday vs the Utah Jazz, which the team won.
The Warriors and Kings will be facing off in an NBA postseason setting for the second time in as many years when they face off on Tuesday, the only difference being this time it’s in the Play-In round and not the playoffs themselves. The matchup signals a fall from grace for two teams who were among the conference’s elite a season ago but who are now both viewed as having virtually no chance of making a real playoff push, even if they do win two games to backdoor their way in.
