However, they had to go through the play-in but they are now happy to have avoided an 84th game before the start of the Postseason\u2026<\/p>\n<p>Their game 1 facing the Rockets will start on Sunday evening, which offers them a few days to recover.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I tried to minimize the importance before the meeting but we desperately needed to win this match and have four days (rest)&#8221;<\/em> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NBATV\/status\/1912377952349585619\" target=\"_blank\">Confirms Steve Kerr.<\/a> <em>\u201cBasically, our guys have played direct elimination matches for three weeks. A high -level match after another. So win this one &#8230; It took us 83 games but we are where we want to be. Back in Playoffs, with a chance. But even more important, we have time to rest and prepare, because guys need it. Desperately. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<h3>&#8220;The best time of the season&#8221;<\/h3>\n<p>Especially since Stephen Curry had to manage a problem with the thumb and Jimmy Butler a concern for the thigh.<\/p>\n<p>From now on, the two leaders will be able (a little) to heal their sores, before a series which promises to be more particularly physical against the Rockets. But for Steve Kerr, this is the best time of the year that begins.<\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;It&#39;s so nice, it&#39;s the best time of the season. And you know, it&#39;s my 11th year &#8220;<\/em> recalls the coach. <em>\u201cMy favorite day of the season is tomorrow. We meet with the staff, we watch the Houston videos. We establish our game plan. The players rest. We have a few days before seeing the players again. We have to beat a great team in a series in four games. There is nothing better. So I am extremely impatient. \u00bb\u00bb<\/em><\/p>\n<table cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" border=\"0\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border-collapse:collapse\" id=\"box-stats\">\n<tr
