With the Houston Rockets throttling the Phoenix Suns last night and the Portland Trail Blazers knocking off the Denver Nuggets, the Western Conference playoff seedings just got really interesting as we open the final (half) week of the season.
Houston is now just a half-game back of Denver, with the Nuggets playing two more games this week, as they take on the Utah Jazz on Tuesday night and the Minnesota Timberwolves on Wednesday, while the Rockets finish off with the Oklahoma City Thunder on Tuesday.
