Timofey Mozgov’s Huge Game Delays Warriors’ Clinch, Adds Another Bad Home Loss

They had an unbelievable opportunity to clinch a playoff berth—their first back-to-back appearance in the NBA's Big Dance in 22 years—in front of their home crowd in a nationally televised game. Their opponent, the Denver Nuggets, had not only been eliminated from postseason contention long ago, they only dressed nine players on Thursday as they dealt with myriad injuries.
