Congratulations to the San Antonio Spurs, who are now LOCKED IN as the #10 team in the play-in tournament.
Better luck next season, Sacramento.
Not only did the Grizzlies' 116-110 victory over the Kings tonight eliminate Sacramento from the playoffs and guarantee the #10 play-in spot for San Antonio, but it also set up the big showdown between the Grizzlies and the Warriors on Sunday.
Two of tomorrow night's games have now been rendered utterly meaningless (both the Grizzlies vs. Kings rematch and the Warriors vs. Pelicans game).
REGARDLESS of the outcome of Memphis vs. Sacramento (Friday, May 14) and REGARDLESS of the outcome of Golden State vs. New Orleans (Friday, May 14), the winner of the Warriors vs. Grizzlies game (Sunday, May 16) will be the #8 team in the play-in tournament, and the loser will be the #9 team in the play-in tournament.
