We cannot clinch tonight. We can, however, clinch if Phoenix loses to Dallas tomorrow afternoon. If Phoenix wins, then we would also have to win tomorrow night to clinch.
PHX could lose at Dallas prior to the Blazer game. That still puts Portland in regardless of the game in Houston.
can someone explain to me why houston has clinched even though they have a worst record (same wins more loss) http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/standings;_ylt=AkOUrr8uKaRzLhAK.MqrelO8vLYF
They own the first tie-breaker with the Suns and we don't. So we had a magic number 1 higher than the Rockets.
