(nba.com)) Oklahoma City’s record now appears at 57-16 versus San Antonio’s 55-18, a two‑game difference in the loss column as teams enter the season’s final stretch. (nba.com)) The regular season concludes April 12, the SoFi Play‑In Tournament runs April 14–17, and the playoffs begin April 18 — leaving little time for head‑to‑head and conference records to decide seeding.
