NBA schedule and results: Spurs beat Rockets, 104-103, in potential 1st round preview

It was the Spurs’ 10th win in a row, and second in three days against the Rockets. The win moved them to 54-26, which bumped them up from the No. 6 seed in the West up to No. 3. The loss for the Rockets, meanwhile, dropped them to 53-26 and from second place all the way to sixth. If the season ended Friday, the Spurs and the Rockets would tip off in the first round of the playoffs.

After losing by 12 points on Wednesday (and trailing by as much as 22), the Rockets jumped out to a 12-0 lead on Friday. They led 30-23 at the end of the first quarter, but the Spurs fought back to trail by just two at halftime.

There are only a few games left before the NBA Playoffs start, so I’m pretty sure it’s safe to say this will be the most ridiculous thing you’ll have seen all season. Raymond Felton hitting game-winning shots in 2015? Now I’ve seen it all.

Let’s take a minute and bask in the beauty that is Giannis Antetokounmpo mesmerizing his defender with a flashy crossover.

The crossover was so good, the last defender just decided to let him dunk. Nah man, don’t play defense. Just let Giannis finish everything good he started. I wouldn’t play defense either. I feel you.

Of course, LeNron isn’t actually real. Or at least that’s what he WANTS you to think.

Happy National Siblings Day.

The race for NBA playoff seeding and appearances can be super-tight, so one game can make or break a team right now. That means all those lucky bounces and improbable game-winning threes are adding up. These are just a few of the wild sequences that are now deciding playoff seeding.

This unbelievable shot on Feb. 7 gave the Pelicans a 3-1 head-to-head series lead over the Thunder, so if both teams have the same record, New Orleans gets in as the West’s No. 8 seed. If Anthony Davis missed this shot, the season series would be tied at two.
