On April 11, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued, and the Clippers lost to the Suns 108-124 at home, ending their four-game winning streak. In this game, the Clippers directly took turns to rest the Big Four, tactically gave up, and the Suns almost collapsed, but fortunately, at the last moment of the final quarter, the Clippers continued to hit iron, Hyland and Boston failed to continue their feelings, and were bombed 24-2 offensive, and the game lost suspense.
This game doesn't mean much for the Clippers, who only need to win one of their next games to lock up the fourth spot in the West. This time, the main players were directly rotated, the Big Four did not play, Zubac and Powell did not play, and Mann played 8 minutes before resting. That's it, the Suns almost overturned, and they fell behind by 1 point after the first three quarters, but fortunately, the Clippers were finally dumb in the final quarter, and the Suns directly opened the point difference to lock in the victory and successfully won the victory.
The Suns' last 2 games are also a little incomprehensible, they had a chance to stand in the sixth position, but they didn't expect to drop the chain one after another. This time, in the face of the remnants of the Clippers, they almost overturned, and finally opened up the difference in the final quarter, and they were still behind after the first three quarters, allowing Hyland to score 37 points alone. This time, the Big Three played well and scored 87 points together, otherwise the result would be really hard to say. The Suns win the game and remain in seventh place in the West, but they still have a chance to finish sixth, but it will be up to them to take advantage of it.
With the Suns winning the game, the last hope of the Lakers and Warriors was also dashed, and they fell directly into despair, and could only stay in the play-offs, and the two teams officially missed the competition for sixth. There was still a glimmer of hope, but the Suns' win directly dashed their hopes. Now that the Lakers and Warriors are in the bottom half of the play-in tournament, they will have to make mistakes from other teams to move up to the top eight.
The Lakers and Suns have already decided to make the playoffs, and there is only one suspense left in the Western Conference playoffs, and that is who will be able to rush up to the Pelicans, Suns or Kings. The Pelicans have become a key part of this, and he will face the Kings, Warriors and Lakers in the next three games, and it is estimated that it will be difficult to win three games in a row, which means that the Suns have a good chance. The Warriors and Lakers will need to work hard for the top eight, after all, they only need one win in the first half of the playoff to qualify for the playoffs, and two wins in a row in the second half.
