On March 21, Beijing time, a total of 9 NBA regular season games were played today, all of which have been played, and the results of the game have also changed the Western Ranking! After the Nuggets' fiasco against the Celtics, the 6th position was given to the Timberwolves; after the Pelicans beat the Hawks, they successfully overtook the Lakers to the 9th position.
The Suns beat the Kings 127-124 and won five straight
The League's Number One Suns were met with stubborn resistance from the Kings this time, and even fell into passivity for a while, but fortunately they beat their opponents through overtime, which also gave them an advantage to open up again, leading the Grizzlies behind them by up to 9 wins, and with 10 regular season games remaining, it is expected to lock in the league's first position early.
The Suns won this time was also very tragic, the team Booker, Ayton and McGee all left the game with 6 fouls, and the Tough General Crowder left the field with an injury, but the final result was good.
The Warriors lost 108-110 to the Spurs, suffering two straight losses
After Curry was injured, the Warriors were in trouble, this time facing the Spurs, and were killed by their opponents in the last minute. After losing the game, the Warriors recorded 47 wins and 24 losses, 1.5 wins behind the Grizzlies, and the Jazz behind them also caught up, only 2 wins away. Because the opponents are tough today, the Grizzlies won the Rockets, the Jazz lightly won the Knicks, the ranking of this position is also likely to change in the last moment, after all, the gap between the two sides is very small, it depends on whether the Warriors can withstand it.
The Nuggets lost 104-124 to the Celtics, suffering two straight losses
The Nuggets have also been in a slump recently, and it is a bit unbearable to rely on Jokic alone, especially this time Jokic is also in a slump, 8 of 23, which also makes the team passive early, once trailing by 28 points, and finally encountered a 20-point fiasco.
After losing this game, the Nuggets and Timberwolves both had a record of 42 wins and 30 losses, and the Timberwolves rose to the 6th position due to the win-loss relationship. The Timberwolves have been in hot form recently, having won four straight games. There is also a big difference between the 6th and 7th positions, the 6th will directly advance to the playoffs, the 7th will need to play the playoffs, and it is also possible to miss the playoffs.
The Pelicans beat the Hawks 117-112 to bring in a two-game winning streak
The competition in the playoff area also became lively, and after the Pelicans beat the Hawks, the record also caught up with the Lakers, and the Lakers fell to 10th because the key to victory and defeat rose to the 9th position. The Pelicans, who have passed a slump in the past, are now back on track again, and With Ingram expected to return soon, the play-offs are promising.
The Lakers' side was heartbroken, and they didn't make progress and fell to 10th. Well-known commentator Skip came to ridicule James again, arguing that the Lakers may not even have to play in the playoffs, and James's most important thing is to win the scoring king.
The Specific Rankings in the West are (high to low): Suns, Grizzlies, Warriors, Jazz, Lone Rangers, Timberwolves, Nuggets, Clippers, Pelicans, Lakers, Spurs, Blazers, Kings, Thunder, Rockets.
