Playoff Race Update » 50 Wins And No Worse Than Fifth

While there's still much to be decided with four games to play, the Trail Blazers, who secured their first 50-win season since 2014-15 Wednesday night versus the Memphis Grizzlies, can finish no lower than fifth, meaning they'll end the 2018-19 regular season above the Clippers, Spurs and Thunder in the Western Conference standings.

Neither the Spurs nor the Thunder can match Portland's win total -- you can probably count on one hand the number of NBA analysts who predicted such a thing at the start of the season -- and the Clippers, at best, can match Portland's record, though the Trail Blazers own that tiebreaker thanks to winning the season series 3-1.
