The race for playoff position is heating up in the Western Conference. While the top five teams have escaped the rest of the pack, seeds six through eight are still wide open.

Houston Rockets, currently seventh in the conference, are trying to make a push for the sixth seed, but ended up losing a close one against the Phoenix Suns last night. The official Twitter handle of the Houston Rockets tweeted the fans with an update on the playoff race:

PLAYOFF PUSH UPDATE: @bucks take down @warriors, so Rockets remain 1 game behind Golden State for 6th in the West. Big homestand coming up.

Despite the fact that Rockets failed to win last night, the Golden State Warriors continued their slumping, losing to the Milwaukee Bucks. In response to the Rockets’ tweet, Bucks’ official Twitter handle displayed some common courtesy:

@houstonrockets you’re welcome.

In stressful times like these, it is nice to see the Bucks considering the imminent needs of other teams.
