What the West looks like
Taking a look at the Western Conference standings, we see the The Timberwolves still hold on to the top spot at 15-4 almost a quarter of the season. The West is as tough as we’ve ever seen them, so tip your cap to Anthony Edwards, Karl-Anthony Towns and company, but they have the Nuggets and the handful of teams hot on their heels. The Nuggets are 14-7, just below the surging Thunder who are 13-6 tonight. The Clippers, a little further down the standings, currently occupy what would be a Play-In position if the season ended today. The Clips expect to be a team competing for a chance to host a series, or even multiple series in Los Angeles come playoff time, without scraping the bottom of the barrel trying to get through the Play-In Tournament .
