Los Lakers They passed over the New Orleans Pelicans in the last game of the regular season (108-124) with a fantastic LeBron James to finish eighth and, curiously, they will also face the Louisiana team on Tuesday and on their court in the duel between seventh and eighth of the play-in.
LeBron, who had already warned that he was ready for Sunday, exploded in the last match of the regular season with a monumental triple-double of 28 points, 11 rebounds and 17 assists, while Anthony Davis he scored 30 points and 11 sacks in a good game for the starting quintet of the purple and gold, with also 20 points for Austin Reaves19 to D’Angelo Russell and 11 for Rui Hachimura.
The magnificent defense of Darvin Ham’s men left Zion Williamson with 12 points on 4/13 field goals.
The last day was kind for the Lakers, who apart from arriving in a good position to the play-in – they only have to win one game to enter the playoffs and will have a second chance if they lose -, they will avoid dealing with the Suns.
The Arizona team beat the The Minnesota Timberwolves (106-125) and rose to sixth place to enter the postseason directly and send the Pelicans to play the playoff against the Los Angeles team.
If they lose, the Lakers will have a second chance against the winner of the Kings -Warriors. Who knows if the extreme competitiveness of the West could not bring about a dramatic all or nothing between Lakers and Warriors in a play-in that will be played between Tuesday and Thursday of this next week.
