The warriors apportioned themselves the seemingly ridiculous task of staying in the playoffs where every single game turned into a fight when it fastened to the end of the season. It was like balancing on the edge of a cliff. In spite of the fact that the Warriors displayed amazing play in the last part of the season to protect the precious NBA playoffs ticket, they just barely missed the highly contested Western Conference and however, earned the recognition as the NBA’s best 10th-ranked team.
Warriors Rewrite History as NBA’s Best 10th-Ranked Team
Their final regular-season standing, perched at the 10th spot in the West with a commendable 46-36 record, sealed their destiny: We are heading for an showdown with the Kings in the NBA Play-In Tournament. The uncertainty of the play-offs was not enough for the Warriors to satisfy their desire as they became the most formidable 10th-ranked team in NBA history not only with their 56.1 percent winning record but also the identity that equates their name with one that became a legend of the league.
The looking-down demeanor revealed by the Warriors, having already dominated the conference despite strong western conference adversaries team even lead of their calibers in the playoffs, is staggering. In the matter of several months, Warriors became one of those teams that no one wanted to face, they have amassed a phenomenal 27-12 record, which by far exceeds the performance of some of playoff-bound teams like Denver Nuggets, Oklahoma City Thunder, and Boston Celtics.
Aptly, Warriors’ head coach Steve Kerr retains a square-jawed stoicism, rendering thanks for his team’s hard-fought journey to the play-in stage. He is inspired by their perseverance and confidence. He highlights how squadmembers are supportive of each other and always at the ready of the once in a lifetime opportunity.
