Pacific Division, LA holds the tie breaker, and just one back from the New Orleans Hornets for the Western Conference lead and that coveted number 1 playoff seed.
The Phoenix Suns set themselves up beautifully to go on this late season charge and finish up with moment to ride going into the playoffs. They had a slight let down as they adjusted to having O’neal in the paint, but things have come together with the Diesel, and over their last 11 games Phoenix has won 9, losing only the Detroit Pistons and Boston Celtics. And while both were winnable games, 9-2 looks pretty good after facing off against teams like Boston, San Antonio, Detroit, Golden State, Houston, and Philly.
