For San Antonio, first place in the Western Conference and even first place overall is still very much alive, as it comes into this game 44-17 to Oklahoma City's 43-16. With a win, the Spurs can force the Thunder to give it their all as the season winds down for the hope of home-court advantage in the Western Conference finals.
Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers are seemingly comfortable finishing with a top-four spot. A top-two seed seems to be out of the question with Kobe Bryant sitting out his sixth consecutive game. As Kobe gets his rest, we'll see Andrew Bynum and Pau Gasol continue to take over games, along with the suddenly resurgent Metta World Peace.
