A snapshot of the bottom of the Western playoff chase:
7. HOU (21-16)
8. OKC (20-16)
-------------------------
9. UTA (20-17)
10. NO (18-16)
11. MEM (18-18)
12. LAC (16-18)
Looks like we're shaping up for another tough stretch run. Games like today's at Washington are huge if we want to stay in this till the end.
