The Golden State Warriors and Orlando Magic punched their tickets to the playoffs with wins Tuesday night in the NBA’s play-in tournament. The Magic made easy work of the Atlanta Hawks while the Warriors played a nail-biter against the Memphis Grizzlies.

Tuesday night’s clash between the Memphis Grizzlies and Golden State Warriors delivered all the drama expected from a high-stakes play-in game. The Warriors secured a narrow 121-116 victory to punch their ticket to the NBA playoffs, where they will take on the second-seeded Houston Rockets.

The Golden State Warriors secured a spot in the 2025 NBA Playoffs as the seventh seed in the Western Conference following a win over the Memphis Grizzlies. Stephen Curry stole the show with a fourth-quarter takeover, but that game was also the latest example of how Jimmy Butler can raise his level when the stakes are highest.
