Berkeley poised to ban most plants within 5 feet of homes deemed a fire risk The Berkeley city council is set to vote next week on a plan to ban plants and combustible materials within five feet of homes due to fire risk.

That’s a back breaking loss for the Warriors

What an incredible statement victory by Golden State. This team, in this kind of form, will be very dangerous in the playoffs.

Just another remarkable Warriors victory to cap off an incredible triple-up against playoff teams -- win in Memphis, in LA and tonight at home on a back-to-back right after that long road trip.

One of their best regular-season stretches in a long time.
