In today's NBA playoff, the Los Angeles Clippers played a game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The Clippers were very confident, and they welcomed the comebacks of Paul George and Powell in the final stages of the regular season, winning consecutive games and morale soaring. If both George and Powell can play, with major rotation players such as Reggie Jackson and Morris Jr., the competitiveness of this team is still good.
The Los Angeles Lakers have long since bid farewell to this season, and if the Clippers can't enter the playoffs, then this year's NBA playoffs have nothing to do with the city of Los Angeles. However, the Clippers received bad news before the game, that is, George suddenly triggered a health and safety agreement and could not play the game.
Without George, the Clippers still want to fight because they haven't had Leonard and George for most of the season. But in a game that is set to win, anything can happen, and the Pelicans' desire to enter the playoffs is also very strong, and they exchanged McCollum early for this moment.
The Clippers trailed the Pelicans in the first half, and although they tried to pull back and pull away in the third quarter, they were countered by the Pelicans in the final quarter. Ingram has never played in the playoffs with either the Lakers or the Pelicans, and he wants to feel that way.
Throughout the game, Ingram exploded with 30 points and six assists, while Larry Nance Jr., also from the Lakers, contributed 14 points and 16 rebounds. The two Lakers will work together, and the Clippers' front line can't resist.
In the end, the Pelicans completed the reversal, beating the Clippers 105-101 to win the final playoff spot in the Western Division. It has to be said that the Clippers are very sorry, if George can play, the result may not be so.
