The Warriors still have a chance to tie the game but Buddy Hield misses the 27-foot three point jumper. They will play the Memphis Grizzlies in the Play-in tournament for the 7th seed this Tuesday night. A lost will mean that the Warriors will play the winner between Kings and the Mavericks for the 8th seed on Friday night.
