The Golden State Warriors continued their stroll through the 2017 NBA Playoffs on Monday night, defeating the Utah Jazz to complete the sweep and book a spot in the Western Conference Finals.

It’s the third straight trip to this round for the Warriors, who appear to be on a collision course for an NBA Finals rubber match with the Cleveland Cavaliers. But first, they’ll have to get through either the San Antonio Spurs and Houston Rockets, who are locked at two games apiece in their series.

While that Battle of Texas will still determine the dates of the West Finals, here’s a look at what we know about the Warriors’ playoff schedule:

Regular Season Records

vs. Spurs

The Warriors went 1-2 against San Antonio this season. Of course, it’s worth noting that the first loss (129-100 at Golden State) came on the first day of the season, while the second (107-85 at San Antonio) was played without Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Draymond Green, Klay Thompson, Kawhi Leonard and LaMarcus Aldridge.

In Golden State’s win (110-98 at San Antonio), Curry and Thompson combined for 52 points but the defense was key to the victory, holding Kawhi Leonard to 19 point and five turnovers on 7-of-20 shooting.


vs. Rockets

The Warriors went 3-1 against the Rockets this season. The loss was a double-overtime thriller in December, while the victories came by 17, 7 and 9 points, respectively.

Kevin Durant played in just two of those games, but he averaged 35.5 points on 51.1 percent shooting to go with 9.0 rebounds, 4.5 assists, 2.5 steals and 2.5 blocks per contest.

James Harden, meanwhile, managed just 21.8 points in the four head-to-head meetings, shooting a miserable 31.5 percent from the field and 14.7 percent from three-point range. He did average 11.3 assists, but that went along with 6.5 turnovers.
