The Timberwolves lost the first place, P7 consecutive wins, and the Warriors escaped
On April 1, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and it was another peak day of 10 games, and many Western teams played, which also made the already anxious rankings even more chaotic. The Timberwolves lost the first place, the Mavericks won seven in a row, and the Warriors escaped
1-4: Thunder 52-22, Nuggets 52-23, Timberwolves 51-23, Clippers 47-27
The top three in the West form the first group, and the gap between them is only one win, so in one day, the rankings have all changed places. The Timberwolves lost to the Bulls in an upset, scoring only 101 points in the game, and without Towns, it still has a great impact on the team's offense. The Thunder relied on Alexander's stunner to rush to the first place, but SGA has not been in good form recently, with a 2-game break, and the data has also been lowered, and it seems that the MVP is hopeless. The Nuggets now have a lot of control and can pick their opponents. The Clippers continue to win and hold on to fourth place in the West, but Harden has started playoff mode early and is in worrying form.
5th-8th: Mavericks 45-29, Pelicans 45-29, Kings 43-31, Suns 43-31
The current ranking is extremely disadvantageous for the Suns, because both the Kings and the Lakers have a better record against the Suns, so the Suns must have a higher win rate than them in order to be higher in the rankings. The Mavericks have won seven in a row, the management has taken the right medicine, and the mid-season trades have been excellent, and both Gafford and Washington have helped the team a lot. Irving and Doncic's personal form has also reached the best level. According to the current ranking, the Mavericks will face off against the Clippers in the playoffs, and Doncic vs. Little Kaorge's 3.0 version is exciting to think about. And the champion Williamson may also have to face Mr. Yoo, and his strength in the playoffs is about to be determined.
9-12: Lakers 42-33, Warriors 40-34, Rockets 38-36, Jazz 29-46
The Jazz have completely fallen behind and are now suffering a nine-game losing streak, but unfortunately it is too late to swing and it is too late, and their draft pick should be around the 8th pick. The Lakers stabilized the situation, and after winning the Nets, they have opened up the gap with the teams behind them, and they have the hope of rushing to the top half of the play-offs, two lives are better than one. The Warriors escaped, the Spurs kept chasing points in the final moments, and Klay once again played with a reassuring pill to seal the victory with a crucial three-pointer. Relying on this hard-won victory, the Warriors opened up 2 wins, which is already relatively safe. For the Rockets, no matter what the final result is, they are not considered a failure, not only to cultivate two young people, Shin Jing and Green, but also to re-establish a winning culture, what if they do not make the playoffs?
13-15: Grizzlies 24-50, Trail Blazers 19-55, Spurs 18-57
With injuries to their core players, the Grizzlies are smart to take advantage of the situation and regain their competitiveness next year. In terms of strength, the Trail Blazers are the real bottom team in the West, and it's not that they don't want to win, but they really can't win. The Spurs' record is up to standard, and they have a top-five pick at the bottom, so they have opened the training mode at this stage to prepare for next season in advance.
