The Golden State Warriors will meet the Los Angeles Clippers at 7 p.m. Wednesday in the NBA play-in tournament, and the defending champions insist they are unfazed by the matchup.
“We know who they are,” one Warrior said after learning the opponent, noting the familiarity that comes from frequent divisional battles. Coaches and players echoed that sentiment, stressing that preparation will focus on execution rather than surprises.
The single-game showdown will decide which club moves forward in the postseason bracket and which faces an immediate fight to stay alive. Tipoff is set for prime time as the league’s marquee play-in contest of the night.
