The Golden State Warriors spent the last month resigned to their fates. Even before they were locked into the play-in tournament, they knew they were headed there and would have to win two games to grab an unlikely playoff spot.

So, they prepared for a two-game season.

And the mission, in their eyes, is only half-finished.

The Warriors — along with Charlotte, Orlando and Phoenix — will be in win-or-go-home matchups tonight as the play-in tournament comes to a close and sees two teams grab the last two available spots on the playoff bracket.

Charlotte goes to Orlando, Golden State to Phoenix. Game 1s — at Detroit in the East, at Oklahoma City in the West — await tonight’s winners.

“This is literally it,” Magic coach Jamahl Mosley said. “This is it.”

Golden State used a 41-23 run over the final 9:49 to close a comeback road win over the Los Angeles Clippers, turning a 13-point deficit into a 126-121 win and keeping its season alive. The Warriors hit six more 3-pointers than the Clippers did in that deciding stretch, and those 18 points were exactly the difference over the game-ending run.

“That was fun,” Warriors guard Stephen Curry said. “That’s what you live for, right there.”

Charlotte — with a victory over Miami, one where LaMelo Ball’s uncalled flagrant foul of Bam Adebayo commanded almost all the attention — won its way into Friday, as did the Warriors. The Magic lost in Philadelphia, giving the 76ers the No. 7 seed in the East and a matchup with Boston. And Phoenix lost at home to Portland, giving the Trail Blazers the No. 7 seed in the West and a matchup with San Antonio.

Seasons are on the line now. Miami and the Clippers have already lost elimination games, and two more teams will join them in offseason mode on Friday night.

“We’ve got to be ready,” Magic forward Paolo Banchero said. “I’ve got to be ready.”This season’s play-in tournament marks Phoenix’s first time in the event. The other three remaining teams have all been there at least once before.

Golden State is in for the fourth time, Charlotte for the third time and Orlando for a second time. (Philadelphia and Portland, who have already advanced, were in the play-in for a second time in their histories.)

Golden State is 2-3 in play-in games. Orlando is 1-1, Charlotte is 1-2 and Phoenix is 0-1.
