The Los Angeles Lakers clinched the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference after defeating the Rockets 140-109. This victory marked their 50th win of the season. Coach JJ Redick set two goals when he was hired in June: to win 50 games and to secure the No. 3 seed. Historically, 76 out of the NBA’s 78 champions were the No. 3 seed or better. LeBron James, who has led the team for the past seven years, contributed 14 points and eight assists in 22 minutes before leaving the game due to a tweaked left hip/groin area. Luka Doncic, scoring 39 points on 13-of-19 shooting, expressed confidence in the team’s championship potential. The Lakers will face either the Golden State Warriors, Minnesota Timberwolves, or Denver Nuggets in the first round of the playoffs. They will host Game 1 at home, marking the first time since the 2010-11 season.
