Lose LA Lakers They defeated the 110-106 New Orleans Pelicans in a passive and tense conflict responding to it Play in from NBA to get your ticket to the Playoffs.
The Lakers, who will be the seventh seed in the Western Conference, will face a new duel in the first round against the Denver Nuggets (2nd).
In the Playoffs a year ago, Nikola Jokic’s Nuggets swept the Lakers 4-0 in the Western Conference finals en route to their first ever ring.
At 39 years old, LeBron had 23 points, 9 rebounds and 9 assists but, with the crack in the last part, he left the attention to Anthony Davis (20 points and re- 15 turnovers) and D’Angelo Russell (21 points and 6 assists).
Between all of them, they managed to neutralize the performance of Zion Williamson, who had 40 points and 11 rebounds and ordered a comeback from an 18-point deficit with which the Pelicans stopped heartily.
But Williamson, fighting to qualify for his first playoffs, retired to the locker room with three minutes remaining when the game was at 95.
The Lakers took advantage of it to confirm the victory with several key actions by Davis and a decisive triple by Russell with 51 seconds left. The Pelicans will have their second chance to advance to the postseason on Friday.
Their rival will win the second play-in game this Tuesday between the Sacramento Kings and Stephen Curry’s Golden State Warriors, whose loss will be eliminated.
