Tiebreak: PHX, MEM (3-1): point differential.

What the columns mean
W-L
Record in this season's group games.
Diff
Point differential in group games, without overtime: a game that goes to overtime counts as 0 for both teams.
x-
Clinched whatever the remaining group games do; the tag says what: Won group (Clinched group while its games remain), Clinched wild card, or Clinched QF — a quarterfinal place as group winner or wild card, which one still open. A tie that point differential would settle stays open until every team in it has finished its group games, so it counts against a team's clinch and for it on elimination.
e-
Eliminated, and the row is greyed: cannot reach the quarterfinals whatever the remaining group games do.
Tiebreak
Teams level on record are ordered by head-to-head in group games, then point differential, then points scored (both without overtime), then last season's record, then a league drawing. The wild-card race skips head-to-head. Computed by Hoops Menu from final scores; live games are not counted.
