On April 3, the NBA regular season continued, and the regular season went to the final sprint period, and the goals of each team were clear. With the Warriors' comeback to beat the Jazz, the pattern of the top four is gradually clear, and the recent Lakers' losing streak has made the Purple and Gold Army's hopes of participating in the playoffs less. Let's take a look at the latest pattern in the West:
Solar grizzly bears are the most stable;
The Suns and Grizzlies have performed best in the league this season, the Suns stability league first, and the Grizzlies are the biggest nemesis. At present, the Suns have locked in the first place in the regular season league, and although they have no desires, their overall performance is still excellent. The Grizzlies have won seven straight in recent times, having beaten the mighty Suns in the last round. The Grizzlies this season, with or without core Morant, have been outstanding, and while the playoffs aren't a good one, it's clear that the Grizzlies still have a chance.
The first four patterns are clear;
With the Warriors beating the Jazz in a big comeback at home today, they won a very crucial victory on the road to the card, and a wave of 18-0 combined Klay and Poole in the final quarter successfully countered the Score for the Warriors. Leading almost an entire jazz crash, they lost the game. In this way, the Warriors locked up the playoffs after winning, and at the same time crushed the Jazz's hopes of breaking the top four, and the top four patterns of the Suns, Grizzlies, Warriors and Mavericks were clearer.
Timberwolves hit the top six;
The Timberwolves saw hope of impacting the top six after beating the Nuggets, the current Timberwolves are seventh in the West, they are 2 wins behind the sixth-place Nuggets, and there are still 4 games, if you want to get straight to the playoffs, the Timberwolves must strive to win all the next games, while the Nuggets drop the chain, but it is still very difficult.
The Lakers have little hope;
The Lakers lost one of the most important games of the season after losing to the Pelicans yesterday, and with five games left, they are three wins behind the ninth-place Pelicans in the West, and there is little hope of catching up. For the Lakers, the hope is to catch up with the Spurs in the next 5 games, the Lakers are currently one win behind, and they need to win 2 more games than the Spurs in the next few games. Coupled with the Lakers' next opponents are nuggets, suns and warriors, James and thick eyebrows have little hope of a playoff.
Rocket bottom;
The Rockets have performed poorly this season, with just 20-game wins and finishing at the bottom of the West, the same as last season. This Rockets is mostly young and talented players, their goal is to train young players during the reconstruction, and Jaylen Green and other newcomers have also played well this season, and the future Rockets are worth looking forward to.
