太阳透支体力，即将迎来生死战！
近期太阳打出争冠强队表现！先后战胜掘金、鹈鹕、骑士、森林狼等强队。 取得9战7胜的战绩。 以45胜31负的战绩排在西部第六季后赛席位，领先后面鹈鹕1个胜场。 太阳接下来的赛程：即将迎来与鹈鹕的卡位战，2场快船，太阳的赛程是西部最难的，剩余5场比赛，太阳全部面对季后赛球队。
鹈鹕再次面临危机！
鹈鹕先后不敌绿军、太阳、魔术、马刺遭遇4连败！目前战绩45胜32负，排西部第七。 只领先湖人0.5个胜场。 现在鹈鹕队又出现新危机，锡安手指受伤，接下来的比赛出现成疑...... 接下来的5个赛程：这套赛程很恐怖，四支处于边缘的流量大队，都在拼命向前挤，这套赛程有可能让鹈鹕跌出西部前八。
湖人有该率进入季后赛！
The Lakers have won four in a row after five straight wins, with nine wins and one loss in the last 10 games. 目前领先国王0.5个胜场，落后鹈鹕0.5个胜场。 其实湖人能打出这么出色的成绩，一点都不意外。 湖人季中赛可是冠军，可惜后面泄气了...... 湖人如果想争取到季后赛席位，剩下的4场比赛必须全部拿下。。 还得看太阳那边的情况......
湖人命运关键取决于快船！
The Clippers are fourth, two wins ahead of the fifth-place Mavericks
The Mavericks are fifth, one win ahead of the sixth-place Suns
The Lakers are eighth, 1.5 wins behind the sixth-place Suns
First, the Lakers maintained an all-win streak and at least squeezed out the Pelicans to move up to seventh. The rest depends on the two meetings between the Clippers and the Suns...... ，那么快船这2场比赛肯定认真和太阳打，不能让太阳上去，反之，那这两场比赛快船大概率会放掉......
简单一点解释：如果快船双杀太阳，那湖人就能进前六，如果快船双败太阳，那湖人基本没有机会，如果一胜一负太阳，那还得指望别的球队再赢太阳一场。
