The Spurs have swept the Lakers in the standings and are now 10th in the Western Conference. Of course, you shouldn’t relax, because the Lakers have the same percentage of wins, but Gregg Popovich’s wards have made a big step towards the play-in. San Antonio issued a series of four victories and beat worthy opponents. The team managed to deal with Golden State (108-110), Portland (133-96), New Orleans (107-103) and Houston (123-120). In the last meeting, it was noticeable that the club is gradually starting to sag, although it is always more difficult to play on the road.
Miami has already secured a playoff berth, but the Heat could lose their spot in the second round. The fact is that Eric Spoelstra’s wards are ahead of Boston and Milwaukee by only one victory. Losing the next match, the Heat could lose their positions. It is worth noting that until recently, Miami has lost everything that is possible. The losing streak for the team from Florida was four games. But on the eve of the “lights” managed to correct the situation. At home they defeated Sacramento (123:100).
