Spurs vs Warriors
Appearing on this list twice is symbolic of how the two teams have dominated headlines this year. They share the court two times in the final week of the season and, although neither squad wants to admit it, a little mental edge entering May would be – to quote one politician – yuge!
The Warriors have lost 32 straight games in San Antonio. The early exit from last year is still fresh on Gregg Popovich and company’s minds. For Golden State to win at least one of the final two games between the two teams, preferably the one that takes place in the Alamo city, would be huge for the team’s psyche heading into the playoffs.
