It shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Golden State Warriors are on the verge of finishing their First-Roud series against the Los Angeles Clippers. The top-seeded Warriors haven’t lost a Western Conference Playoff series in over four years and the Clippers certainly won’t be the ones to end this streak.
However, there is a good reason as to why the Dubs will need to finish this series in Game 5. With the Houston Rockets preparing to sweep the Utah Jazz, the Warriors will have to face their toughest opponent in Round Two.
If Houston closes out their series today, they will have at least four days of rest before taking on the Warriors.
