2022 NBA playoff picture: Warriors tighten grip on top-four seed; Hawks jump to No. 8, Nets fall to No. 10

The Golden State Warriors overcame a 21-point deficit to defeat the Utah Jazz on Saturday, and in doing so they clinched a playoff spot. The Warriors are currently the West’s No. 3 seed, one game up on No. 4 Dallas.Β 

In the East, the Atlanta Hawks scored a huge win over the Brooklyn Nets. With the win, Atlanta jumps to the No. 8 seed while the Nets fall to No. 10. The Nets have sealed their play-in fate, meaning they mathematically cannot rise into the top six and nor can they fall out of the top 10.Β
