By losing this game GSW does not get extra days to start 2nd round series
Finished in 4 or in 5 - series start on Saturday.
Finished in six - probably on Sunday.
For Warriors it would be dumb to risk health of their players (injuries) and fatigue.
They have just lost TWO days of rest. With best players playing 40+ minutes in a lost game.
They are confident that they can manage without Steph.
Pels will get more time to rest/practice.
Warriors needs only rest...
