How Suns Can Officially Clinch Playoff Spot

The Phoenix Suns have endured a long season full of drama, injuries and even waving goodbye to some homegrown talent in a blockbuster trade.

Yet here we are: Four games are left in the regular season and the Suns appear to be all but locked into their No. 4 seed as the Denver Nuggets, Memphis Grizzlies and Sacramento Kings have clinched playoff spots.

Over the weekend, the Suns confirmed they're at least in the play-in tournament before their win over the Oklahoma City Thunder on Sunday.

Now, they have the opportunity tonight to clinch an official playoff spot with a win against the San Antonio Spurs. They can also do so with a Golden State Warriors loss to Oklahoma City.
