With a win at Dallas, the Rockets win the group with a 3-1 record regardless of point differential because they have the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Pelicans.
With a loss and a 2-2 record, the Pelicans win the group with a 3-1 record. The Rockets can not clinch the West wild card spot as other teams will have guaranteed a better record.
I am confused, if we win we will have the same record as Pelicans 3-1 and they have +33 point differential. Won’t we have to make the difference or is the tie breaker the head to head with Pelicans?
h2h comes first when two teams have the same record
