The Los Angeles Clippers around the German national basketball player Isaiah Hartenstein remain on the road to success shortly before the start of the playoff qualification in the NBA.
On Saturday (local time) the Clippers won their fourth game in a row with a 117:98 (59:45) over the Sacramento Kings.

The Clippers opened the game with a 9-0 run, were up 15 points after the first quarter and maintained a comfortable lead throughout the rest of the game. Hartenstein threw in ten points, six rebounds and three assists from the bench and hit two three-pointers in the third game in a row. The Clippers will finish the main round in eighth place and still have to secure a playoff ticket in the so-called play-in tournament.
Joel Embiid led the Philadelphia 76ers to a 133-120 (66-54) against the Indiana Pacers. The superstar scored 41 points, 20 rebounds and hit the field with 14 shots in 17 attempts. For the first time this NBA season, a player surpassed 40 points and 20 rebounds in a game. With currently 30.6 points per game, Embiid is very likely to finish the regular season as the top scorer.
