PORTLAND, Ore. (AP) — Jimmy Butler III scored 24 points and the Golden State Warriors routed the Portland Trail Blazers 103-86 on Friday night, but did not clinch a playoff spot with one game remaining.
Because Minnesota beat Brooklyn 117-91, the Warriors will have to wait until Sunday's regular-season finale against the Clippers to learn their postseason fate in the tight Western Conference.
