The Warriors played well enough to beat the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Reason they did not win, straight up shooting, bad shooting, why that hopefully changes on Sunday.

Welcome to the Lockdown Warriors.

We're part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day.

My name's Chuck Walter. On today's show, we got a few things to get into around the association,

including Luca Donchich out with an injury, but we have to start with the Golden State

Warriors loss, 111 to the Cleveland Cavaliers, hard-fought game, a good game, but one where the Warriors just did not

hit timely shots. They did not hit shots early. They did not hit enough shots to win the game.

It's the Warriors' 41st loss of the season, meaning they will not finish above 500 for the first

time since that disaster that was 2019, 2020.

The Blazers also won tonight, so likely 10 seed for the Warriors.

I've been proclaiming it for a minute now, but it's seeming more and more likely that,

regardless of Steph Curry returning for their next game, it's probably too little too late. A lot of losing out and winning

out to even make that a realistic possibility. So get ready for a road two game adventure to try

and get Oklahoma City or San Antonio for seven. But we had a game. We had a game at Chase. It was a good

one. Needed something better than Wednesday's matchup against San Antonio, where it was over before the fans got their popcorn.

And the only reason we had a game Thursday night is because Yurt 7 left-handed Leones and Nate Williams soaked up all those minutes Wednesday night.

But it was a tight game until the final, I mean, until the final buzzer, really.
