Kurtenbach: The Warriors conceded the No. 1 seed to the Rockets. Here’s why that was the right decision

The Warriors have 15 games remaining in the 2017-18 regular season, but on Tuesday, they declared that they’re good with how things stand in the Western Conference.

Golden State currently sits two games back of the Houston Rockets for the best record in the NBA, which carries with it home-court advantage throughout the playoffs. That’s a not-so-unimportant privilege that the Warriors have held for the last three seasons, but have decided they have no interest in extending into a fourth year.

Tuesday was an off-day for the Warriors — they canceled practice but had motivational speaker Tony Robbins come and talk to the team.
