During the night NBA, two verdicts were rendered during the Play-ins. Los Angeles LeBron James’ Lakers beat the New Orleans Pelicans 110-106, thus securing their place for the playoffs. They were competing for seventh and eighth place in the West and it was the yellow and purple team that won, led by LeBron in excellent form with 23 points, 9 assists and 9 rebounds (close triple-double) . Also note the 20 points from Anthony Davis, accompanied by no less than 15 rebounds and the 21 points from D’Angelo Russell.
Lakers in the playoffs, they will face the Nuggets
Zion Williamson’s 40 points and 11 rebounds weren’t enough for the Pelicans (who left the game due to injury at the end). However, the Pelicans, having finished eighth in the regular season, will play their way to the playoffs in the next round of play-ins against Sacramento. The Lakers, for their part, advance to the playoffs where they will face Jokic’s Denver Nuggets (reigning champions) in the first round (Game 1 Sunday April 21).
Kings crush Warriors
The other, surprising verdict is that of the elimination of the Golden State Warriors of Steph Curry who lost heavily to the Sacramento Kings overnight. 118-94, an overwhelming result that leaves no room for discussion. The 7 times NBA champions completely lose sight of the game, Curry does not exceed 22 points and 4 rebounds and shoots 41.3% from the field. The Kings come away in the second half of the game led by a Keegan Murray in great shape and by the faithful De’Aaron Fox (24 points and 6 assists). The picture of the evening for the Warriors is that of zero points from Klay Thompson.
The Sacramento Kings take their revenge on Golden State and will play their way to the playoffs this evening in the decisive round of play-ins against the New Orleans Pelicans. The winner will face Oklahoma in the first round of the playoffs.
