Golden State outlasted the Memphis Grizzlies 121-116 in Tuesday's Western Conference play-in tournament game at Chase Center thanks in large part to the combined efforts of Stephen Curry and Jimmy Butler. It clinched the No. 7 seed as a result and will face the second-seeded Houston Rockets.

The Golden State Warriors will head into their final regular season home game on Sunday to face the Los Angeles Clippers, with major playoff seeding implication

The Warriors were the No. 1 defense over the last 31 games. Curry is an above-average defender and a passable team defender overall. He makes the offense go, and with him on the court, their 120 offensive rating would be good enough for the top five in the league.
