STILL UP FOR GRABS
San Antonio can move up to fourth and drop Phoenix to fifth with a victory in its season finale and a Phoenix loss, or two Phoenix losses. If the Spurs and Suns finish tied, the Spurs get the fourth seed because they have a better conference record.
The winner of tonight’s Sacramento-Seattle game will clinch the seventh spot because if the teams finish tied, the Kings would have won the season series, 3-1, or the SuperSonics would have a better conference record.
