Good things come for those who wait.And boy, did the Warriors wait.This was anything but a standard campaign for the once-dominant Dubs. No, this season, they used all 82 games of the regular season to clinch a spot in the NBA playoffs.At least they didn’t wait long to complete the job in Sunday’s regular-season finale.The Warriors posted the highest-scoring first quarter in NBA history, 55 points, to open a no-doubt 157-101 win over the Blazers Sunday in Portland, Ore.The win clinched the Western Conference’s final playoff spot for the Warriors.Yes, the Warriors were the last team in.But that’s precisely where they wanted to be.The Warriors’ reward for making the playoffs — and avoiding the NBA’s play-in tournament — is five days off and a first-round matchup with their Northern California rivals, the Sacramento Kings.That’s rest this Warriors team desperately needed and the opponent they wanted to play all along.The reason the Warriors wan...

T-wolves send Gobert home after fight with teammate Anderson

Published Sun, 29 Dec 2024 02:19:22 GMT

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — The Minnesota Timberwolves are fired up for the postseason.Whether they have enough depth and maturity to stay awhile is to be determined.Timberwolves center Rudy Gobert was sent home after throwing a punch at teammate Kyle Anderson during an argument on the bench in the second quarter Sunday against New Orleans, shortly after ace defender Jaden McDaniels put his availability in doubt by hitting a wall out of frustration.“This is probably one of the grittier wins I think anyone will ever be a part of. The things we went through in today’s game are not normal. Hit after hit, we just found a way to lean on each other,” point guard Mike Conley said. “The most important thing is we could have easily splintered. Whether it was Kyle and Rudy or hearing news about Jaden, it was one hit after another, but it just brought more out of us. We dug down deep.”Gobert sent a group-text apology to the team, Conley said. Coach Chris Finch declined to speculate about potential puni...
