The NBA regular season is coming to an end, but the Wild West rankings are still in suspense, and after 11 games in the East and West on March 26, the Western Conference rankings are in suspense again: the Nuggets still have the championship background, with 4 consecutive wins to hold the top spot; the Clippers lost to the Pacers and lost the 4th place without a fight; the Kings and the Mavericks won on the same day and continued to tie for 6th; the Rockets won 9 consecutive wins, only 0.5 wins away from the Warriors in the play-off zone, causing heated discussions in the league.
1. No. 1-8 in the Western Conference rankings: Today's Nuggets 128-103 easy Grizzlies, Jokic cut 29+11+8, and the Nuggets, who won four consecutive games after the game, are one win away from the Thunder and rank first in the West. The Timberwolves trail the Thunder by 0.5 games, and the two teams are in 2-3 places in the West. Today, the Clippers lost to the Pacers 116-133, Leonard got 26 + 4 + 3, George 26 + 1 + 3, Harden 11 + 3 + 7, Powell 22 points, Wei Shao returned to contribute 14 + 4 + 7; Pacers Siakam cut 31 + 4 + 2, Haliburton 21 points and 9 assists, Turner 24 points and 7 rebounds; after the game, the Clippers had the same record as the Pelicans, both 44 wins and 27 losses, and the Clippers who lost again and again could not escape the fate of being tied by the Pelicans. Today's Kings 108-96 easy 76ers, Sabonis cut a triple-double 11+13+10, Fox 23+8+5, Murray 23+3+4; 76ers Maxey cut 29+3+2, others did not score more than 12+;Today's Mavericks 115-105 defeated the Jazz, Doncic cut a triple-double 29+12+13, Irving 27+3+5, Gafford 13+11+5; after winning on the same day, the Kings and Mavericks continued to tie, and the battle for the last playoff ticket was extremely fierce. Today, the Suns lost to the Spurs 102-104, Booker slashed 36+6+4, Durant 29+8+6, and the Suns dropped 2 places in a row after the game to 8th in the West.
2. 9th-15th in the Western Conference Rankings: The Lakers currently have a 39-32 record, 11.5 games behind the top Nuggets, and rank 9th in the West. Today's 110-92 victory over the Trail Blazers by the Rockets is a crazy nine consecutive wins in the league, only 0.5 wins behind the Warriors, the last in the play-in zone, and the momentum to replace them has shocked the whole league. Today's Jazz lost 105-115 to the Mavericks, Markkanen slashed 34+7+2, Collins 21 points and 11 rebounds, Sexton 20 points and 6 assists, the Jazz suffered 6 consecutive defeats, ranked 12th in the West, 8 wins away from the play-off area, and there is no hope of advancement. Grizzlies, Trail Blazers, Spurs ranked in the bottom three in the West, today the Grizzlies lost to the Nuggets 103-128, the Trail Blazers lost to the Rockets 92-110, and the Spurs narrowly beat the Suns 104-102.
The Western Conference ranking is too crazy, the Nuggets have just established the top position, the Pelicans and Clippers are tied for 4th place, the Kings and Mavericks are also in 6th place, and what is more interesting is that the crazy 9-game winning streak of the Rockets is only 0.5 wins behind the Warriors, and whether they can squeeze out the Warriors in the closing stage to enter the play-off area has become the most concerned hot topic in the league.
