ClutchPoints: โ€œ[The Rockets] have lost a couple in a rowโ€ฆ Tomorrow will be an opportunity to end their season, their playoff hopes.โ€ Draymond Green ahead of the Warriorsโ€™ match with Houston ๐Ÿ‘€ (through @TheVolumeSports) pic.twitter.com/JtxGzqdf51 -through Twitter @ClutchPointsApp / April 3, 2024
โ€œWhen heโ€™s going against guys that are a little bit more athletic, he uses his brain a little bit more,โ€ Irving stated of Green. โ€œAnd when heโ€™s going against smaller guys, he uses his physicality. So he knows how to play kind of the in-between game on the defensive end.โ€ Greenโ€™s stand assisted the Warriors (41-34) seal a 104-100 win, their 5th straight. The late-season rise can be straight connected to their enhanced defense. During the streak, theyโ€™ve held challengers to 92, 93, 97, 100 and 113 points. Theyโ€™ve published a 102.9 protective ranking throughout the run. -through The Athletic / April 3, 2024
The Warriors are 1.5 back of a ninth-placeย Los Angeles Lakersย group they deal with next week head-to-head with an opportunity to clinch the tiebreaker, so the ninth seed is available. Theyโ€™re still within faint reach of seventh (3 video games behind theย Sacramento Kingsย andย Phoenix Suns), thanks in big part to a continual protective effort. โ€œWeโ€™ve seen teams in this league for years make the mistake of thinking they can just put a great offense out there, (have their) defense suck and think theyโ€™re going to win,โ€ Green stated. โ€œIf you run up against a team that doesnโ€™t even have to be as good offensively, but if theyโ€™re competent on the offensive end and they play defense, youโ€™re going to lose. So our defense, itโ€™s a non-negotiable. We have to defend at that level.โ€ -through The Athletic / April 3, 2024
ย Entering Tuesdayโ€™s play, just one group leaguewide sported a nighttime typical scoring margin in unfavorable double digits: Charlotte (18-57) at -10.6. The 18-57 Spurs (-7.0), 14-61 Wizards (-9.7) and 13-62 Pistons (-8.8) have all โ€œimprovedโ€ adequately defensively โ€” San Antonio more legally so with a particular Victor Wembanyama as its anchor in the middle โ€” to make their nighttime typical scoring margins more decent and, more notably, evade any flirtations with the 1972-73 Philadelphia 76ersโ€™ 9-73 record regularly associated by NBA historians with 82-game futility. -through marcstein.substack.com / April 3, 2024
Ryan Blackburn: Nikola Jokic on his dunk near Victor Wembanyama: โ€œAt least Iโ€™m going to be aggressive and try to dunk it. Like, why not?
