As for the franchise, this marked their first victory of the campaign in the absence of Curry, extending that run to 1-4. Overall, the team currently remains at the 10th spot on the Western Conference table with a 34-30 record. All things considered, a play-in run seems imminent, yet the organization aims a direct qualification to the playoffs.

The pressure consequently shifts on the shoulders of the roster as they have already displayed their worth. Now, it’s time for them to capitalize on the momentum with the path ahead remaining steep.
