The Golden State Warriors are back in control of their playoff destiny after the Memphis Grizzlies lost to the Minnesota Timberwolves on Thursday night, 141-125. By winning their final two games of the regular season—Friday on the road against the Portland Trail Blazers and a Sunday home finale against the Los Angeles Clippers—Golden State can guarantee a top-six seed.
After the Memphis loss, the Warriors control their own destiny again for a playoff spot. Win the final two (at Blazers, vs Clippers) and they’ll be at least the sixth seed.
