There were only two games last night, yet it still made a difference for the NBA Draft lotto standings, but had little effect upon the NBA Playoff races.

What happened last night?
Winner | Loser | Commentary | ||||||||||
1 | CHI | East | 4 | 89 | - | MIA | East | 10 | 78 | Well, the Heat can make a push to keep their pick | ||
2 | GSW | West | 1 | 116 | - | POR | West | 4 | 105 | Stephen Curry is unreal, 45 points, 8 threes, 10 assists |
Sometimes you have to be careful, the Curry can be very hot.

NBA Draft Lottery standings:
Nothing happened, well, Chicago and Toronto flip-flopped. But both are in the Playoffs anyway.

Only four left for the Jazz, I really hope we can steal one of them!
