A live look at the reactions.
Well, a nightmare unfolded on Wednesday night. The Golden State Warriors played too sloppily against the lottery-bound San Antonio Spurs, and lost 114-111 when Harrison Barnes made a buzzer-beater at the end of regulation. The Dubs slipped into the play-in seeds with the loss, and a lot of work is required to climb back to the playoff seeds.
