On April 4, Beijing time, the Spurs won 113-92 against the Blazers, considering that the Lakers lost to the Nuggets in the same day, which also allowed the gap between the two teams to continue to widen.
The Spurs, currently ranked 10th in the West, have been able to improve their record to 32 wins and 45 losses, while the Lakers, who are in 11th place in the West, can only have a record of 31 wins and 47 losses, and the gap between the two teams has widened to 1.5 wins.
That's certainly not good news for the Lakers. Because the Lakers and Spurs have only 4 games left, and as long as the Spurs win 1 of them or the Lakers lose 2 of them, the Lakers will not qualify for the playoffs:
Spurs 4-0, Spurs into the playoffs, Lakers out;
Spurs 3 wins and 1 loss, Spurs into the playoffs, Lakers out;
Spurs 2 wins and 2 losses, Spurs into the playoffs, Lakers out;
Spurs 1 win 3 losses, Lakers 3 wins 1 loss or worse, Spurs into the playoffs, Lakers out;
Spurs 0-4, Lakers 2-2 or worse, Spurs into the play-offs, Lakers out.
Judging from the above record, basically as long as the Spurs can win at least 2 games in the next game, the Lakers will not have a play-off. Even if the Spurs can only win one of them, the Lakers need at least 3 wins and 1 loss record to have a chance to enter the playoffs. Considering that the Lakers will play the next four games against the Suns, Warriors, Thunder and Nuggets, such a schedule also means that it is difficult for the Lakers to have a record of at least 3 wins.
So far this season, the Lakers have not been able to play a good enough record, even if they do suffer from injuries, but the team has problems with the chemistry and even the desire to win. To put it simply, if this Lakers still have hope of turning the situation around in the first half of the season, the Lakers, who are almost in a desperate situation, have a hard time changing the status quo, and they are not the competitive team at all.
