The Golden State Warriors will have to challenge for a playoff spot through the NBA play-in tournament after falling to the Los Angeles Clippers 124–119 in overtime on Sunday.
The Warriors seemed to have the inside track for one of the top six seeds in the Western Conference for weeks, but will now have to settle for the seventh seed in the play-in tournament. The Warriors had risen up the standings and been hot since acquiring Jimmy Butler, but lost three of their final five games of the season, including falling to an injured San Antonio Spurs team this week on a buzzer beater from Harrison Barnes.
