To climb to the highest position possible and avoid the relegation round, the Lakers lined up all their stars, who contributed a lot to the 122: 115 won in Indianapolis.
LeBron James appeared after six lost games due to injury, and Dennis Schroder also healed after missing three.
Leading the way and dragging the Los Angeles club through the game – Anthony Davies scored 28 points and LeBron James 24 points.
The Indianapolis team fiercely resisted, although they were unable to play Saturday due to injuries like six major players: Domantas Sabonis, Edmond Sumner, Malcolm Brogdon, Myles Turner, Jeremy Lamb and Aaron Holiday.
Sabonis missed a game due to a thigh injury he injured this week during a game with the Milwaukee Bucks.
After the victory, the Lakers remained in seventh place in the Western Conference, but matched the victories with the Portland Trail Blazers, who were able to tip in their last game in the regular championship on Monday.
The Pacers have dropped to 10th, but the Charlotte Hornets and Washington Wizards teams in positions 8-9 have the same number of wins, so the situation may change after Indiana’s last game with the Toronto Raptors on Sunday.
D. Sabonis and his team in the East cannot fall below 10th place, because the closest Chicago Bulls (30-41), led by Artūras Karnišovas, no longer have a chance to extend the season.
The top six teams in the conference will advance to the playoffs immediately.
Teams with 7-10 positions will enter the playoffs, which will take place according to the following principle:
Teams with 7-8 places will meet once and the winner will advance to the playoffs. The losing team will still have a chance to get there if they then beat the winner of the 9-10-place team pair. A club that loses a 9-10 seat game is immediately eliminated.
“Markers”: Carisas LeVertas 28 (12th floor), Jakarras Sampsonas 20, Dougas McDermottas 17;
“Lakers”: Anthony Davies 28 (Rev. 10), LeBron James 24, Dennia Schroder 14.
