The race for the top seed in the Western Conference heats up.
The San Antonio Spurs lost today to the Memphis Grizzles and are now on a two-game losing streak.
After losing its starting center/power forward Tim Duncan, the Spurs have dropped several games and are losing their cushion over No. 2 seed Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers have been a different story following the NBA All-star weekend, winning 14 of their last 15 games.
With the loss today against the Grizzles, the Lakers could be four games behind if they are able to beat the New Orleans Hornets tonight at Staples Center.
The chance seemed impossible but now that same chance is looking brighter and possible every day as the Lakers and Spurs race toward the end of the season.
Both teams will have nine games remaining after tonight and the teams have one more meeting with each other in Los Angeles next month before the season ends.
The Lakers might finish first in the West after all.
