Lakers beat the warriors by just 5 points, I don't know whats wrong with them nowadays but I feel like they know they made the playoffs easily already, they wanted to show off and prove people that they are the best team in the west right now and played the best game they possibly could but now that more than half of the season gone, they know that they don't really care about proving people how good they are anymore, so they may have let the foot of the pedal and just coasting towards playoffs.
I think that shouldn't be a big deal. A win is a win no matter what's the lead.
What if we saw Milwaukee Bucks won against the New York Knicks at 5 points. Are we going to question the Bucks here?
In playoffs they have to really get better than this and start playing like they played at the start of the season, specially Danny Green who started to score very bad recently. And also, this season looks like the first time Spurs will miss the playoffs in over 3 decades, gonna be a hard April for all of them.
These players are playoff veterans. They already know what to do.
There is a big difference playing against different teams consecutively compare to the same team in a series match.

Unfortunately, likely it will.
Actually, in the past 2 seasons, they are fighting at the bottom of the playoffs qualifiers and almost on the verge of not getting in.

Sad to see that this streak will now be broken. The longest streak in team history.
