Reasoning: Winning the Western Conference Championship means Denver made the playoffs (you must be a playoff team to win the conference). So KXNBAWEST-26-DEN YES implies KXNBAPLAYOFF-26-DEN YES. The reverse does not hold: making the playoffs does not guarantee winning the conference.
Strategy: Buy NO on antecedent + YES on consequent
