Plus, more on injuries in the West, Kevon Looney’s Iron Man streak and Podziemski’s thoughts on his blown layup.

Above them in the standings, the Mavericks, Kings and Suns each won. It was a snapshot of how a cluttered play-in picture has made it difficult for the Warriors to progress.
“This is the deepest that I’ve ever seen either conference, I would say,” Warriors coach Steve Kerr said this week. “Because night after night, it feels like you’re swimming upstream.

He logged 290 consecutive games including the playoffs, a stretch that spans back to March 20, 2021.
