Play-in Game Pits Two Unlikely Contenders
Western Conference's 8th Seed to be Decided
Lakers and Pelicans Clash in Unexpected Matchup
The NBA's Western Conference play-in game features a surprising matchup between the Los Angeles Lakers and the New Orleans Pelicans, two teams that were not expected to be in this position.
The Lakers, who were once considered a lock for the No. 10 seed, lost their final regular season game to the Phoenix Suns, dropping them into the play-in game. The Pelicans, on the other hand, have been a surprise all season, finishing with a 49-33 record, good for the No. 9 seed.
This will be a must-watch game for NBA fans, as both teams have a lot to prove. The Lakers are looking to avoid a disappointing end to their season, while the Pelicans are looking to continue their Cinderella run.
The game will be played at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans on Wednesday, May 18th at 8:00 PM CST. It will be televised on TNT.
