A Servite win would give the Friars two wins out of three games against Santa Margarita and the tiebreaker edge to claim third.

As a tiebreaker, I called up former Assemblymember Hector De La Torre, who entered politics a quarter century ago to help cleanse his hometown of South Gate.

Though they have the same record as Denver at 49-32, the Nuggets are the fourth seed because of tiebreakers.

If the season ended today, the Timberwolves would get the No. 6 seed, the Clippers the No. 7 seed and the Grizzlies the No. 8 seed based on current tiebreakers.

It will be another important game that will determine the seeding tiebreaker if the two teams end the season with identical records.
