There are stat lines, and then there are monster stat lines. Jason Richardson's numbers against the Wolves on Sunday fall into the latter category. He registered 32 points, 12 rebounds, seven assists, three steals and a blocked shot in a 121-108 victory that, combined with a Clippers loss, moved the Warriors into eighth place out West. His performance helped Golden State withstand a 42-point display from Ricky Davis.

The Eastern Conference playoff picture may still be a little blurred around the edges, but the principals are set. With Orlando's 88-86 victory over Boston on Sunday, and Indiana's 111-107 loss to New Jersey, the Magic locked up the eighth and final postseason berth and eliminated the Pacers from contention. There's still a lot to decide headed into the regular season's last three days, though. Only the Pistons, locked into the conference's top spot, and the Heat, holding steady at No. 4, are sure of their seeding. Detroit, Chicago, Cleveland and Toronto all know they will be hosting the openings games of their respective series. But no team is sure who it will play. The possibilies are too numerous to list, but if you're so inclined, you can do the matchup math yourself. Just grab a pencil, some paper, a calculator and a bottle of aspirin, and click here.

Kobe Bryant almost single-handedly helped clear up the bottom third of the Western Conference standings. Bryant scored 28 of his 50 points in the second half and carried the Lakers, as he's done all season, to a 109-98 victory over the Sonics that punched their ticket to this year's postseason party. The win not only clinched a playoff berth for Los Angeles but also kept them ½ game ahead of Golden State for seventh place. The Warriors jumped into eighth after they beat the Timberwolves and the Clippers suffered a disappointing loss to the Kings. Golden State now has a one-game lead on the Clippers for the last playoff spot in the conference. "We're in the driver's seat," said Baron Davis, who had 17 points, seven assists and four steals for the Warriors, "and what better position do you want going into the last two games?''

Jerry Stackhouse has been the Mavs' main man off the bench this season. But, on Sunday, it was Devin Harris who stepped to the fore and supplied Avery Johnson with the most productive minutes off the pine. Harris scored 21 points on 7-of-13 shooting and added four rebounds and two assists in an emotionally charged 91-86 win over the Spurs. The matchup had few postseason implications, but the two teams are recently historic rivals and, if things fall the right way, could be destined for a meeting in the Western Conference Finals. While Dallas has had the West's No. 1 seed locked up for some time, San Antonio, which lost for only the second time in 14 games, is now entrenched in third place.

Mardy Collins has been playing so well lately that Knicks play-by-play man Gus Johnson was overheard Sunday saying Collins bears resemblance to New York legend and current analyst Walt Clyde Frazier. And Johnson wasn't referring to Frazier's garish fashion sense or Seussian ability to describe any action in near-perfect rhyme scheme. He was referring to Collins' on-court abilities. On Sunday, he went for 12 points, eight rebounds, 11 assists and three steals, albeit in a loss to Toronto. This stat line bumped his averages over the last six games to 15.5 ppg, 6.7 rpg, 6.7 apg and 2.2 spg. Collins is certainly swishing and dishing and displaying intoxicating moves that have left the opposition inebriated.
