All the teams They took to the court on the penultimate day of the NBA regular season. Game 81 was someone else’s show by Víctor Wembanyama, the prodigy of the San Antonio Spurs. Knocked down the leader of the Western Conference, the Denver Nuggets (121-120)and completely opens the first place for the last day as they will arrive tied to the same record the Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves and the champions have 56 wins and 25 losses. Everything to decide. From a Play-in rival to a poisoned gift in the first round.
Wembanyama throws against Jokic.
The myth was not left behind Lebron James. The West play-in is wild and will be decided by minimum. The Los Angeles Lakers achieved a miracle victory against the Memphis Grizzlies (123-120) which added to the defeats of Sacramento (108-107 against the Suns) and Warriors (114-109 in New Orleans) places them eighth. They would play only one phase of the playoff at best… against Kevin Durant, Bradley Beal and Devin Booker.
Wembanyama breaks through to Denver
He only has one game left in his first experience in the NBA, but Victor Wembanyama remains determined to transcend. He left in a miracle victory for the Spurs. They lost by 17 points and the Frenchman exploded to turn it around. He started in the third quarter, putting on an express show, scoring 17 points in just three minutes. He ended up having a complete influence, scoring an incredible 34 points (12/27 TC and 5/12 T3), 12 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks.
Wembanyama madness in the third quarter
The first player in NBA history to reach more than 1,500 points, more than 250 blocks and more than 100 three-pointers scored in the same season. He neutralized Nikola Jokic (22+12+7) and leaves the West in a fist. They will be played between Oklahoma City Thunder, Minnesota Timberwolves and Denver to be first. If OKC wins it will be. The champions need two defeats from their rivals.
LeBron propels the Lakers
At the Play-In there is a rush of Lakers taking advantage of the fact that Kings and Warriors fell. LeBron James was everything in the Los Angeles victory in Memphis and took off with 37 points (13/20 TC), 10 rebounds and 5 assists. He signed the play of the game, because when Memphis attacked to tie, he was able to steal and go on the counterattack. His mate certified the victory. If the Pelicans win on the last day they will face Phoenix. In case of a tie they will travel to New Orleans.
LeBron’s steal and dunk to win in Memphis
Along with Davis (36+14), LeBron was the soul of a necessary victory for the gold and purple. To be able to be in the Playoffs with less wear and tear and be a contender. The eternal youth of the King is palpable. So much so that this course exceeds the number of launches scored in the last period (194) than he did in 2018 (192) when he was the absolute boss.
The Knicks are pressing Milwaukee
In the East the classification leaves two battles. The New York Knicks are 10 at the end of the season and won the Big Apple Derby (107-111) with an exhibition (another one) by Jalen Brunson by going up to 30 points and 11 assists. It didn’t help the Nets to continually bring Mitchell Robinson to the team and the Knicks went 4-0 this season against their city rival. Sweeps.
Brunson, surrounded by rivals.
Added to the Bucks’ loss to Oklahoma, they will be playing (with Cleveland just one win away) for second place in the Eastern Conference on the final day of the season. And for Milwaukee it is not good news, since they face Orlando Magic who will fight to be fifth and not fall to the Play-In. In just one win (46 wins) are the Magic, Sixers, Pacers and Heat (45 wins).
Boston wins again
Brisset makes a dunk.
More comfortable was a new triumph for the Boston Celtics. Their 63. They surpassed the Charlotte Hornets (98-131) and regained their best level after losing to the Knicks. The surprising thing was that Tatum, Brown, White, Holiday, Horford and Porzingis, the entire starting block, were missing and Boston still beat its rival. Pritchard stood out with 31 points and it is the 18th victory of the course by a difference of 30. All but one of their losses are by 10 or less. The summary of a season.
