Key Takeaways

• Dallas falls into ‘Fading Fast’ by virtue of being 10+ points out of playoff position (or 15+ points out if they had a game in hand).
• LA is ‘in control’ over Seattle by virtue of having a game in hand.
• Austin has a tough stretch that could create opportunities for others to pounce.
• The Round 5 Utah/Dallas match could be the unofficial end to one of their seasons.
