After 3 significant victories, warriors are able to tear the advantage of the domestic court

The day when the warriors exchanged for Jimmy Butler, were 25-26, linked to the King Sacrament for the tenth seed in the Western Conference, in danger of completely abandoning the play-in tournament.

After Butler’s first game with the Warriors-a victory for bursts on the Bulls to return to .500-The head of the coach Steve Kerr said that the goal of the distant team was to go up to the sixth seed.

It took only 15 days. Butler and The Warriors began to dampen the victories so quickly, and the center of the conference began to dissolve around them so quickly, that they sneaked in the sixth seed before the end of February, the same month in which they exchanged Butler.

But before last week, the idea of ​​flying in the standings seemed much more ambitious. They had lost two in a row to start a discouraging journey of six games and they felt still a little too far from the scope of teams such as Grizzlies, Lakers and Nugget.

But Memphis fired his coach in the middle of a loser series and the pepper and Lakers suffered a couple of cracks from the cycline as part of their shaky extensions, bringing all three back to a surprising distance just as the program delivered this triple head to the warriors: to the Grizzici, to the Lakers, to Vs. Nuggets.

In three separate cities scattered for four days, the Warriors won all three in a relatively convincing way: 134-125 on the Grizzlies, 123-116 above the Lakers and 118-104 on the nuggets on Friday evening on the hard side of a back-to-back after returning from a 14-day waitress.

“I’m tired,” said Draymond Green to journalists. “I just want to go home, relax, go to sleep.”

Steph Curry recited during the four days, marking 52, 37 and 36 points in the three wins – 125 points out of 76 shots in 12 quarters. It already has 23 made 3s in April. No other NBA player has more than 12.

That other The NBA player is Brandin Podiemski. He made 12 3 in that three -games race, supporting his 28 -point outlet in Los Angeles with 26 other points against the Nugget on Friday evening. The green was excellent defensively. Butler cut 57 points in the three -games stretch. Moses Moody has made seven of his 13 3. The Warriors are now 14-0 when using that group to five men as an initial training.

The meaning of these three victories can be warned in the updated ranking. Warriors are not close to the danger of game at all. The Grizzlies, the Timberwolves and the Clippers appear under them. But those three wins opened a path to pass the Lakers, the Nugget or both and capture the advantage of the domestic court in the first round.

3. Lakers: 47-30
4. Nuggets: 47-31
5. Warriors: 46-31
6. Timberwolves: 45-32
7. Clippers: 45-32
8. Grizzlies: 45-32

The Warriors have the Tiebreaker head each on the Timberwolves and Grizzlies. They lost the tiebreaker head each against the Lakers, the Nuggets and Clippers. So they should have ended a game in front of Denver and both Los Angeles teams to be expected above them.

“I don’t know it’s just as important (to get home),” said Kerr. “I would say that the main objective for us-and I imagine that the other five or six teams -ia to stay out of seven and eight (seeds). You simply don’t want to joke with that game situation.”

If the Warriors win, they would need Lakers to lose twice or nuggets to lose once to overcome them. Considering their remaining programs, there is a practical path for warriors who move to third or fourth place.

Here are the five remaining games of the Warriors: against Rockets, Suns, Spurs, Blazer, against Clippers.

Here are the five remaining games of the Lakers: in Thunder, in Thunder, Mavericks, against Rockets, in Blazer.

Here are the four remaining games of the Nuggets: against Pacer, in Kings, against Grizzlies, to the Rockets.
