Good Morning Dub Nation,
The Golden State Warriors missed their opportunity to solidify their place in the Western Conference playoff picture after Sunday night’s 112-110 loss against the Denver Nuggets. A win would’ve gave the Warriors a full game lead over the Los Angeles Clippers for the fifth seed, however, Sunday’s defeat brings them down to a record of 41-38 — the same loss total as four other teams in the conference.
