Warriors back on track
For a while, it looked like the Golden State Warriors were heading nowhere near playoff contention in the NBA this season. They lost their first game then won five in a row but stumbled into hard times, once dropping six straight in an alarming tailspin. Closing out tight outings became a challenge as in one-point deciders, the Dubs bowed out in four while winning just twice. In five OTs, Golden State lost four.
