LA Lakers successful a tiebreaker with 4. Golden State Warriors 5.Minnesota Timberwolves successful a tiebreaker with 6. Denver Nuggets 7. LA Clippers 8 Memphis Grizzlies 9. Dallas Mavericks 10. Sacramento Kings. If this occurs we’ll see two nice first spherical match ups. The Lakers versus Denver and Golden State versus Minnesota.
