NEW ORLEANS –– The NBA soap opera continued.
Teams fought for playoff positioning. Dwyane Wade and Dirk Nowitzki had farewell games. And Magic Johnson stepped down as the Lakers’ president of basketball operations.
Meanwhile, the Warriors wrestled with the ultimate first-world problem. How do they handle a meaningless regular-season game after already locking up the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference?
The Warriors finished with a 112-103 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans on Tuesday, and the only real development entailed what happened in the first quarter.
The Warriors determined that Stephen Curry had a mild right foot sprain after rolling his right ankle late in the first quarter.
