Coincidentally, the SuperSonics also lost.
On the night the Lakers lost to the Heat, there was a hot matchup between SuperSonics and Spurs. The Spurs, with their 13-game winning streak, faced the SuperSonics, who wanted to reclaim the top spot in the Western Conference. The Spurs won narrowly in overtime, 109 to 105, achieving a 14-game winning streak, undefeated since the end of last month, racing directly to the top of the Western Conference!
This déjà vu is just like the Lakers before the All-Star weekend.
The SuperSonics had a wave of consecutive wins at the start; the Lakers had a crazy winning streak mid-season; the Spurs had a crazy winning streak after the All-Star weekend.
All three teams reached the top of the Western Conference during their good stages, making this season's Western Conference particularly unique.
And coincidentally, after the Spurs' 14-game winning streak, they will face a formidable opponent—the Chicago Bulls!
