NBA
The tables in the east and west of the NBA after the victories of the Bucks, Lakers and the renewed loss of the Mavericks
Here’s how both the Eastern and Western conferences of the NBA have evolved according to the latest results. The Bucks are poised to secure the NBA lead, the Knicks are in the playoffs, the Lakers are on the rise, the Warriors are on the verge of failure.
The Bucks defeated the Sixers and took another step to end the regular season with the best record in the East and the entire NBA, while the Knicks cemented their presence in the playoffs with their win over the Wizards.
In the west, the Yokic-less Nuggets hurt the Warriors and threatened the champions’ hopes of a direct playoff spot, who are now a breath behind the Lakers after their victory over the Rockets. For their part, the Suns are close to 4th thanks to their win over the Thunder, while the Mavericks suffered a bitter loss to the Hawks and remain in 11th place in the West and are therefore ineligible.
