The NBA Playoff Race: A March Madness Like No Other

The month of March is here, with its Grandmother’s Day, its purchases of chocolate and asparagus to prepare for Easter. But not only.

Good operation of the day: Mavericks, Warriors, Lakers

The Mavericks move up to sixth place in the West, a place they have just taken from the Kings, whom they beat easily. The Warriors secure a reprieve among the Play-in qualifiers by beating the Heat. The Lakers maintain a small lead over their neighbors San Francisco thanks to the comeback against the Bucks.

Bad operation of the day: Kings, Heat, Pelicans

The Kings collapsed against the Mavericks and therefore fell to seventh place in the West, synonymous with Play-in. The Heat are not in a good position in the Eastern Conference, tied for seventh with the Sixers who are awaiting the return of Joel Embiid. The Pelicans lost their fourth place in the West to the Clippers with whom they were tied by losing to the wire against the Thunder.
