Western Conference Playoff Race Is Must-See TV as Season Begins Winding Down

The last month of the regular season is about to be wild.

For the second year in a row, seeds three through eight in the West will be separated by just a handful of games. And for the second year in a row, the playoff race will go down to the last game of the season.

And the Thunder’s 129-121 overtime win in Portland to complete a season sweep of the Trail Blazers was more proof of how exciting the final month of the season is going to be.

Oklahoma City and Portland entered the game tied for third with the Rockets.
