PORTLAND — A record-setting first quarter allowed the Warriors to cruise to their needed win on Sunday — and watch the rest of the West light up in chaos in the process.
Golden State secured a sixth seed in the Western Conference with their dominant 157-101 win over the undermanned Portland Trail Blazers on what was the most eventful final day of the NBA regular season in recent memory. They’ll open their first-round series against the third-seeded Kings in Sacramento on Saturday, marking the first time the NBA’s two Northern California teams face one another in the postseason.
