If OKC gets their 43rd loss, we control our destiny for the play-in by winning out. BTW, the TWolves have a Sat/Sun back to back to end the season before their likely appearance in the play-in.
We still control our destiny for the 10th spot in the Tankathon rankings if we lose out because one of those losses would give Chicago their 39th win.
It was a weird atmosphere in the arena last night. I felt bad for Chris Arnold, because the crowd wasn’t into it all. Then, Kyrie goes off and the team comes back from 13 down and next thing you know, the arena was rocking. I was rooting for a loss, but have to admit I was happy for the guys to get the win. It felt like the players and the crowd needed something positive to happen.
Depends if Utah continues to rest their key players for the rest of the season. Markannen, Clarkson, Kessler, and Sexton didn't play and they still took the Lakers to OT before losing. The same could be said for Memphis vs OKC this weekend.
