The Golden State Warriors gained some more separation yesterday after the Denver Nugget’s loss to the Houston Rockets moved the Warriors a full game ahead of Denver in the loss column. However with eight more games to play, there’s hardly any time for the Warriors to rest on their laurels, especially in their matchups against the bottom tier of the league.
Once a team full of promise, the Minnesota Timberwolves have now fallen into that category of utterly disappointing. They have all but officially fallen out of playoff contention, sitting nine games back of the eighth seed and having lost both Jeff Teague and Derrick Rose to injuries.
