Post amassed 11 points (4-5 FG, 3-4 3Pt), five rebounds, two assists and one steal across 22 minutes during Tuesday's 121-116 Play-In Game win over Memphis.
This was Post's largest workload since March 22, but, notably, coach Steve Kerr trusted him in his first taste of the playoffs. Post is the preferred backup big these days, and Jonathan Kuminga has been buried on the depth chart as a result.

Warriors' Quinten Post: Strong showing off bench Thursday
Rotowire
Post ended with 18 points (6-10 FG, 6-9 3Pt), two rebounds, one block and one steal in 22 minutes off the bench during Thursday's 117-114 win over the Raptors.
