One second Draymond Green was the clutch guy, the next, Harrison Barnes was walking off the floor like it was his house. With just a few ticks left on the clock and the game tied at 111, Barnes fouled Draymond, giving him two shots to flip the script. And credit to Dray—he stepped up and sank both. Cool under pressure. But what happened after? That’s the part Warriors fans will be replaying all night and praying to Anthony Edwards.

Barnes, who once won a ring in that same building, got the ball back and launched a ridiculous fading three at the buzzer. And yeah, it went in. Splash. Game. Over. That shot didn’t just win the game 114-111 for the Spurs—it yanked Golden State right back into the Play-In mix. They’re now sitting seventh in the West, and Barnes made sure they felt every bit of it.

Now, if they want any shot at escaping that chaos and sliding into the sixth seed, they need two things. First, they’ve gotta win their final two games. No excuses. Second? They need Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves to handle business against Memphis.

Yeah, that’s right—only Ant-Man can save ‘em now as explained by Brett Siegel.

 The Lakers clinched a playoff berth after notching their 49th win, sitting pretty at the 3rd seed for now. Denver and the Clippers both kept pace, improving to 48-32 and trailing L.A. by just one game. The Grizzlies aren’t far behind either, and the Warriors? They’re now two games back at 47-33, clinging to the 7th spot.

But even if he shows up big against Memphis, the Warriors have another problem quietly snowballing behind the scenes—fatigue. Fatigue might not be written in the box score, but it’s showing up in real time. The Warriors don’t look gassed every night—but when exhaustion does creep in, it shows up at the worst possible moments. And let’s be real, this team doesn’t have the luxury to coast into the finish line.

Getting some breathing room via a favorable Play-In schedule feels crucial right now. But the clock’s ticking. If they run out of steam before the postseason even begins, it won’t just be about one game—it’ll be a chain reaction that could wreck their chances for good.

It’s officially a sprint to the finish line—and Golden State’s got no room to stumble. But the Warriors aren’t the only ones feeling the heat. Just ask the Timberwolves.

Anthony Edwards is keen on beating the Grizzlies

Minnesota just had a fourth-quarter meltdown that could haunt them. On Tuesday night in Milwaukee, they blew a 24-point lead and watched the Bucks storm back with a 40-point fourth quarter. The Timberwolves managed just 13 in that same stretch and walked out with a brutal 110–103 loss.

It’s the kind of result that drops your stomach—and your spot in the standings. Now sitting at 46–33, Minnesota has fallen to the 8th seed, trailing a cluster of rivals at 47–32. That includes Golden State, who just slid into 7th. If the Warriors win out, they’re locked into the 6-seed no matter what the Wolves do.

Edwards tried to carry the load—he finished with 25 points, 7 boards, and 4 assists—but his shot betrayed him. Just 2-of-11 from deep and 10-of-27 overall. Still, after the game, he kept it 100.

“We know we need the next game… I’m mad we lost, but I can’t do nothing about it… Next game is bigger than this one.”

And that next game? It’s Thursday against the Grizzlies—who happen to be one spot above them. If Ant doesn’t bounce back in a big way, Minnesota could be staring at a Play-In grind. Golden State’s knocking. The margin for error? Gone.
