With a strong Isaiah Hartenstein, the Los Angeles Clippers have secured a good starting position for the play-in tournament of the North American basketball professional league NBA. The Clippers won 119-100 against the New Orleans Pelicans to finish the regular season in eighth place in the Western Conference. Meanwhile, LeBron James is in danger of missing the playoffs for the second time in his fourth year with the Los Angeles Lakers after beating the Denver Nuggets 118-129 – four games before the end of the regular season, the Lakers need to win three times more than the San Antonio Spurs to climb up to tenth place and qualify for the preplayoffs.
