The Golden State Warriors and Denver Nuggets meet tonight, and there’s a lot more at stake than the schedule makers expected when they put the season together.
With just six games remaining for each squad, only one game separates the Warriors (52-24) from the upstart Nuggets (51-25) in the standings. Currently Golden State holds the top seed in the Western Conference, with Denver slotted second. But a lot can change in the final weeks.
Tonight’s game is unquestionably the biggest game remaining for these two teams, as far as determining the number one seed.
