Chris Wright chased down Marco Belinelli in the waning seconds, reached up and swatted a layup -- with the ball clearly on the way down -- off the glass for an easy goaltending call. In an odd scene, a stream of confetti flew up in the lower deck, apparently set off by some of Golden State's home fans with the only thing left to cheer for: losses to improve position in the NBA draft lottery. Almost time to celebrate. Wright's goaltending on Belinelli's layup with 1.5 seconds remaining handed the New Orleans Hornets an 83-81 victory over the Warriors, preserving Golden State's chances to retain its protected high first-round draft pick with another loss in the season finale.
