On the 2nd, Beijing time, the NBA Warriors lost 119-126 to the 76ers, who had only one win in the last 10 games, on the road, missing a good opportunity to jump to sixth in the West. According to The Athletic, Warriors coach Kelr was outside the locker room after the game and expressed dissatisfaction with a question from a reporter.

"Do you think the performance of the bench players this year will be enough in the championship game?" A reporter asked. Cole was obviously displeased when he heard this, and after a pause, he emphasized: "We want to make the playoffs, the playoffs, and you talk to me about the finals now?" We just want to make the playoffs and stop talking about the finals. ”

The Warriors have battled hard since acquiring "Master Chief" Butler, moving up from 10th to 7th in the West and targeting the 6th seed to secure direct qualification to the playoffs and avoid the play-offs. However, after today's loss to the 76ers, that path has become even more difficult.

If the Warriors win today, they can overtake the Clippers and take the sixth seed. However, Butler's sideline with back cramps brought the Warriors' five-game winning streak to an abrupt halt. Therefore, Cole has no intention of discussing the Finals at the moment, and his full attention is on how to lead the team to the playoffs.
