The NBA did something new this season by having the play in tournament which saw the 7-10 seeds in both the east and west conferences play each other to determine who would get the final 2 spots for the playoffs in their respective conferences. In the West the 7-10 teams were 7 LA 8 GSW 9 MEM 10 SAS and in the east the teams were 7 BOS 8 WAS 9 IND 10 CHA. LAL and MEM ended up getting the 7 & 8 seeds in the west and BOS and WAS got the 7 & 8 in the east. Even tho the playoffs have started some players who played in the tournament weren’t necessarily receptive to it because they felt as if there were too many games they would be playing in the playoffs in total.

Lebron James and the Lakers had an amazing game as it came down to a last second shot that he hit in order to win against Steph Curry and the Warriors who missed the playoffs for the 2nd consecutive season.
