Golden State Warriors First to Nab Playoff Berth

The Golden State Warriors missed Kevin Durant’s big presence on both ends of the court. They missed their snappy ball movement that leads to easy baskets and open 3-pointers.The NBA’s best team won anyway thanks to the Splash Brothers and their supporting cast — and locked up another playoff berth in the process.

According to ESPN Stats & Information, the Warriors are the first team to clinch a playoff spot this early on the calendar since the 1985-86 Celtics, who also clinched Feb. 25 of that season.
