MADRID, 16 Abr. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The New Orleans Pelicans beat the Los Angeles Clippers this morning at home (101-105) to reach the NBA ‘Playoffs’ for the first time since 2018, in which they will face the Phoenix Suns, the best team in the Regular Phase of the North American league.
Those from Louisiana, among whom the Spaniard Willy Hernangómez did not play, squandered the 16-point lead they enjoyed in the first half and were forced to come back from a 13-point lead after a disastrous third quarter.
Forward Brandon Ingram led the Pelicans’ attack with 30 points and 6 assists, although it was ‘rookie’ Trey Murphy III who, with 14 points and 4 of 6 on triples, starred in the final reaction at the Crypto.com Arena.
In this way, the Pelicans will face the best team in the Regular Phase, the Phoenix Suns, in a tie that will begin this Sunday.
