A ferocious 4th Q Mavs comeback vs. Memphis will get Dallas the wildcard, via points tiebreaker over Phoenix. Looking like: 1) Houston hosting 4) Dallas GSW will be No. 2 if they beat DEN (tied at halftime). OKC 2, GSW 3 if GSW loses.

If current results hold in the West (PHX up 27-19 on SAS, DAL up 54-50 on MEM, OKC up 68-54 vs. UTA), OKC would win Group B w/H2H tiebreaker over PHX, and DAL the wildcard on point differential over PHX.

Orlando enters the 4th Q down 31, but can’t lose by 37 to avoid bringing Boston back from the dead and into the East Wild Card spot that the Magic appeared to have on lock even with a loss to the Knicks. NBA Cup drama is real!

Hi, this is Mike. Things I like: the NBA, frosting, Manchester United, 90’s hip hop, Kobe 5’s and 6’s, Mountain Dew, ping pong, the Vikings, Jordan 1’s and 3’s, “The Wire,” triple pepperoni pizza, FIFA (video game), “Top Gun,” lakes, Los Angeles, white chocolate. Is this what Blue Sky is for?
