The Golden State Warriors had an opportunity to clinch a playoff spot and a week's worth of rest Sunday night but instead are heading to the NBA play-in tournament after falling to the Los Angeles Clippers in overtime.
While the week off would've been beneficial, Warriors forward Draymond Green said he isn't concerned about the team potentially running out of juice.
"We'll be fine," Green told reporters following Golden State's 124-119 loss to the Clippers, per 95.7 The Game.
"Playoffs, you're playing no back-to-backs or anything like that, so just got to get there. We'll be alright. We're not senior citizens, we're high-level basketball players. ... We've been training all year for this. No disrespect to the senior citizens, by the way. We love our senior citizens."
The Warriors dropped to the seventh seed in the Western Conference with the loss and will host the Memphis Grizzlies in the play-in tournament Tuesday night. The winner will face the No. 2-seeded Houston Rockets in the first round of the playoffs.
