So, I was scrolling through my feeds the other day, and the question just popped into my head: is Golden State out of the playoffs? You know how it is, you hear bits and pieces, but sometimes you want the straight dope. I figured I’d do a little digging myself, just to see what the actual situation was.
First thing I did, I just started looking around online. I didn’t go to any one specific place, just kind of browsed through some sports updates and fan discussions. It’s always a bit of a maze trying to find a clear answer quickly, especially when big teams are involved. Everyone’s got an opinion, right?
My Little Investigation Process
I started seeing some chatter pretty fast. Lots of talk about a recent game, a really crucial one. It seemed like they were up against the Minnesota Timberwolves. That’s always a tough matchup. I kept seeing mentions of “Game 5,” and my gut told me that probably wasn’t good news if folks were already talking about elimination around that game number.
Then I found it. Yep, looked like the Warriors were indeed eliminated. It was after that Game 5 against the Timberwolves. The final score I saw floating around was 121-110. A tough way to go out, but that’s the playoffs for you. One minute you’re in, the next you’re packing your bags for the summer.
I also saw some stuff about how the whole playoff bracket was shaping up. It’s interesting to see who else got knocked out when.
- Some teams didn’t even make it past the Play-In Tournament, like the Kings and Hawks.
- Then you had a whole bunch that dropped in the first round – teams like the Lakers and the Heat.
- The Warriors, from what I gathered, made it to the second round. So, they had a bit of a run, but it ended there. Apparently, other big names like the Nuggets and the Celtics also exited in that second round. Crazy stuff.
And then there was the news about Stephen Curry. Man, what a player. I read that he was actually out for that must-win Game 5. Something about a hamstring injury, which is just awful timing. They apparently checked him out again and he was cleared for some on-court workouts, and the talk was he could have played if they’d managed to force a Game 6. But, well, since they lost Game 5, that chance never came. He even traveled with the team to Minnesota, which shows his commitment, but it just wasn’t meant to be.
So, putting all those little bits I found together, that’s the story. The Golden State Warriors were eliminated from the 2025 NBA Playoffs. It’s always a bit of a bummer when a team with such a history goes out, but hey, that’s sports. Makes you wonder who’s going to go all the way now.
