The Western Conference playoff race in the NBA has reached a thrilling climax as three teams are now tied for the top seed heading into the final day of the regular season. The Denver Nuggets suffered a heartbreaking 121-120 loss to the San Antonio Spurs, allowing the Oklahoma City Thunder and Minnesota Timberwolves to join them in the three-way tie.
Denver had taken a one-game lead after defeating the Timberwolves earlier in the week, making them the favorites for the No. 1 seed. However, a last-second shot by the Spurs' Devonte' Graham changed the landscape of the playoff picture. The Nuggets now need both Oklahoma City and Minnesota to lose on the final day to regain the top seed.
