All 20 teams in the playoffs + play-offs are confirmed: the Warriors take the last train, and the Western Smash Bros. continues
As the NBA regular season draws to a close, the focus of fans is already on the playoff race. This season's playoffs have been extremely intense, with teams battling it out for a place in the playoffs or for a better spot.
The Warriors became the last team to qualify for the playoffs. Despite missing the team's core player, Curry, they advanced to the play-in tournament at the crucial moment of the regular season under Klay Thompson. The win also put them firmly ahead of the Rockets and secured at least a play-in spot for themselves.
The Rockets, meanwhile, were in trouble and lost to the Dallas Mavericks. The loss left them behind the Warriors in the race for playoff qualification, with just a handful of games left to salvage their slump.
The stage for the playoffs is already on the horizon, and some teams, including the Celtics, Bucks, Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Thunder, have already secured playoff qualification. They will be aiming for a better position in the upcoming games to set themselves up for a better record in the playoffs.
In the West, the Clippers and Mavericks are basically secure in the playoffs. But the Suns, Pelicans, Kings and Lakers are still vying for the final spot in direct qualification. The competition between them is extremely fierce and the winner will be decided in the final few matches.
In addition, competition in the east is just as fierce. From the Magic to the Heat, every team is fighting for a better ranking. At the moment, the Bulls and Hawks have lost hope of competing for a top-eight finish and will be fighting hard to get better in the play-offs.
This season's NBA regular season has entered its final critical phase, with teams all fighting for playoff qualification or better standings. Exciting matches are about to take place, and fans can look forward to exciting matchups one after another. In the process, the Warriors have been particularly impressive, showing a strong fighting force without a core player to earn themselves a playoff qualification.
The Rockets, on the other hand, are in a difficult situation, facing a tough situation in the final minute and needing to give it their all in the final few games to qualify for the playoffs. This season of the NBA is destined to be full of suspense and surprises, and fans will witness some spectacular games.
Lakers lost to Timberwolves 117-127 Player rating: 3 perfect scores, 4 collapsed
In their most recent NBA regular season game, the Lakers faced the Timberwolves and lost 117-127. The most striking thing about this game was that the Lakers' defense showed obvious holes after the Bushy Eyebrows returned from injury, causing them to lose the game by conceding a staggering 19 points in the second quarter.
However, while the Lakers were underperforming overall, there were still three players who performed well. First up was Hachimura, who scored 30 points and six rebounds on 11-of-17 shooting in this game, becoming one of the team's highest-scoring players. Hachimura's offense has been very strong and consistent lately, and even though there are some problems with rebounding and defense, he has been able to stabilize the team's position with his strong offensive ability.
Next was Dinwiddie, who had 18 points, five rebounds and seven assists and excelled on both the offensive and defensive ends. Dinwiddie's greatest value lies in his role in tandem and on the defensive end, and now that his performance on the offensive end is gradually improving, his play is very much of a driving force for the whole team.
The most surprising was Hayes, who scored 19 points, 10 rebounds, 5 steals and 1 block on 8-of-9 shooting in this game, successfully making up for the vacancy after the departure of Brother Bush. Although Hayes can't completely replace Bushy Eyebrows, he does a pretty good job of finishing and is able to hold up defensively, which is already a very good performance for the team.
However, apart from these three players, the rest of the Lakers' players have had worse performances. Russell and Rivers were crucial as starters, but alas, they didn't hit the ball well in this game, they couldn't open up the situation on the offensive end, and there were problems on the defensive end, which had a big impact on the whole situation. Rivers, in particular, is poor in possession and often likes to stop the ball after blocking and finding someone, which causes the offensive rhythm to be slowed down.
Prince had the lowest plus/minus of the game, and although he was a pitcher, he often made mistakes on the ball and had problems on the defensive end, which led to the team always losing points when he came on. Reddish is also a big problem, he will cause stagnation on the offensive end of the pitch and lack dynamism on the defensive end, and he will need to adjust his form as soon as possible.
