At 42-15, the Golden State Warriors trail the first-place Phoenix Suns by 4.5 games with 25 left to play.
How hot have the Suns been recently? Think about it like this: the Warriors, who have been playing pretty good basketball themselves, have won eight of their past 10 games, yet haven’t made up any ground. In fact, over that span, the Suns have padded their lead by another 1.5 games. Phoenix had a quiet trade deadline, similar to Golden State, and will roll with the same cast that got them to the NBA Finals last season.
The Warriors have quietly slid closer in the standings to third-place Memphis than first-place Phoenix, but they remain on pace to finish the season with 60 wins. If they do — needing 18 wins in their final 25 games — without overtaking the Suns, they would become only the third team in the past decade to reach that benchmark without earning the No. 1 seed .
The Grizzlies have given the Warriors some of their toughest games this season and remain on their tail. As shown on the court — the only team to beat Golden State twice this season — if the Warriors get complacent, the young and hungry Grizzlies will make them pay. It’s no different in the standings. Memphis has a legit MVP candidate in Ja Morant and the easiest remaining schedule of anyone in the West.
