Golden State Warriors Fight to Survive in 2025 NBA Playoffs

After the Boston Celtics pulled off a crucial victory to stay alive in their playoff series, the Golden State Warriors face a “win or go home” scenario in the 2025 NBA playoffs. Despite being down 3-1, Boston rallied with an impressive 127-102 win in Game 5, securing a spot in Game 6 at Madison Square Garden on Friday. The Celtics thrived on Derrick White’s 34-point display, aided by Jaylen Brown’s contribution of 26 points, a career-high 12 assists, and eight rebounds. Off the bench, Luke Kornet added 10 points, nine rebounds, and blocked seven shots.

In a similar must-win situation, the Warriors hope to rally without their star, Stephen Curry, who is sidelined due to a hamstring injury. The task ahead is daunting. After an initial loss in Game 1, the Minnesota Timberwolves stormed back with three straight victories, including a 117-110 win in Game 4, thanks to stellar performances by Julius Randle, who scored 31 points, and Anthony Edwards, who added 30 points.
