NBA, the play-in and play-off scoreboard

Nikola Jokic against Kawhi Leonard. We will have a first round of mouth watering playoff. Because Joker’s Denver wins in Houston, who had nothing to ask that challenge, and the Californian Los Angeles Clippers hurry up the extra centers of San Francisco. Thus the number 4 and 5 seeds of the Western Conference become respectively. Two of the Verdetti of 82nd and the last day of the regular season NBA that was giving away three promotions directed to the playoffs. The other if the Minnesota won it, which beats Utah comfortably and grabbed the series head number 6 of the West. How (not so much coveted) prize touch the Los Angeles Lakers.

The verdicts

–

There were therefore roughly, in the last 48 minutes of play for each of the 30 teams on the parquet, three qualifications without going from the antique of the play-in plus the order of the standard heads from 4 to 10 in the Western Conference. That at the end of the games becomes this: Denver 4, La Clippers 5, Minnesota 6, Golden State 7, Memphis 8, Sacramento 9 and Dallas 10. The Warriors beaten at home could paradoxically have simplified their post -season path: they avoid the intersection with Lakers, obliged in case of success. The Dubs will instead challenge Memphis in the house and then, in case of success, they would cross Houston. Young and strong, for heaven’s sake, but without Lebron James and Luka Doncic. Sacramento winning on Phoenix earns the field factor in the play-in challenge with the Dallas Mavs, defeated at Casa Grizzlies.
