C's next 8 games before the ASB are:
BKN
PHX
@DET
PHI
CHA
MEM
@MIL
DET
Not exactly easy. 3 of those teams are contenders who are competing with us for the 1 seed, another is the 2nd best in the West, and even Phoenix have looked better lately
Still, I'd be fine if we go 5-3 in that span, and ecstatic if we do better. But worse than 5-3 could really make things tricky, because assuming we lose some of those games to our direct competition (PHI, MIL) that could hurt us in the standings.
Winning last night was massive. At least we're still 2.5+ ahead of everyone else for now instead of 1.5 if we had lost last night
