Things have been extremely tough in the Golden State Warriors camp. While they have been performing comparatively better than how they started the season, it’s still a hit or miss at this point. Unfortunately, they were upset by the Indiana Pacers in a terrific 111-123 game. It was their defense that needed to be a little less non-existent.

The Pacers are doing everything they can to stay out of the Play-In Tournament. The Warriors rank 10th in the Western Conference and they are at risk of missing the playoffs this season.
