The Golden State Warriors finished the 2023-24 NBA season on a hot streak of 10 wins in 12 games, but it wasn’t enough to secure an outright playoff spot in a loaded Western Conference. Indeed, the Dubs led by Steve Kerr will have to go through the “play-in” box, they who finished the season in 10th place with a decent record of 46 victories for 36 defeats.
With their victory against the Utah Jazz this Sunday evening at the Chase Center, Golden State concluded its season with a 46th success. However, the Californian franchise will have to get rid of the Sacramento Kings, ninth in the West, then the loser of the match between Los Angeles Lakers and New Orleans Pelicans in order to enter the postseason. An epic that promises to be complicated but not impossible. Whatever the case, never has a franchise finished 10th in a conference with such a record, enough to give fans comfort before future deadlines.

A promising end to the season
Concretely, Golden State, with a winning percentage of 56.1 this season, is the best team ranked 10th in NBA history according to HoopsHype. The 2000-01 Sonics rank second with a nice 53.7% and the Hornets follow closely with 52.4% of victories in 2021-22. The reason: a very homogeneous Western Conference. Since Jan. 30, the Warriors’ 27-12 record ranks fourth in the NBA, according to StatMuse, behind the Denver Nuggets (24-10), Oklahoma City Thunder (25-10) and Boston Celtics (28-7).
Mission impossible pour GS ?
Despite the final ranking, the Warriors coach, Steve Kerr, previously said he was grateful to his players for making their way to the play-in and hopes the team takes full advantage of this opportunity that wouldn’t have even existed five years ago. To achieve the improbable, the Warriors will have to do nothing less than make NBA history once again. Not only has a No. 10 seed never won a title, but they have never even made it out of the Play-In Tournament. To be continued !
