tiebreaker

Golden State, which beat Indiana on Sunday night to move ahead of Seattle and into sixth, also owns the playoff tiebreaker after winning the season series against the Sparks.

The Atlanta Hawks and Minnesota Timberwolves also went unbeaten but did not advance to the tournament based on tiebreakers, the first of which is point differential.

The National League wins the All-Star Game after the home run derby tiebreaker is used for the first time.

A Servite win would give the Friars two wins out of three games against Santa Margarita and the tiebreaker edge to claim third.

As a tiebreaker, I called up former Assemblymember Hector De La Torre, who entered politics a quarter century ago to help cleanse his hometown of South Gate.
