San Antonio crushed Detroit, the ageless LeBron James recorded a triple-double at the end of the regular season

The duel between the teams from the bottom of the table was clearly in favour of San Antonio, who clearly defeated Detroit 123:95. LeBron James proved once again that he is still not an old man. With a triple-double he contributed significantly to the Lakers’ victory.

San Antonio confirmed its role as the favorite

San Antonio had the game firmly in their hands. Youngster Victor Wembanyama, who is expected to be voted the best rookie of the year after the season, did not play in the game. However, his absence had no effect on the home team’s performance.

San Antonio gave a great collective performance and went for the win from the very beginning of the game. Eight players scored double-digit points, while no one scored more than 18 points. Sandro Mamukelashvilli was the home team’s top scorer.

Jaden Ivey was not the scoring leader for the Pistons this time. He didn’t have a great game, scoring only 13 points. On the other hand, James Wisemann was the best scorer, who practically never came off the floor and scored 21 points in more than 40 minutes.

But it was no use. The Spurs dominated the first three quarters of the game, during which they built a considerable lead and comfortably came away with the victory. They finished the season with a 22-60 record. Detroit confirmed its position as the worst team of the season with its 68th defeat of the season.

LeBron James once again proved his versatility

LeBron James made his presence felt again in the last game of the regular season in the New Orleans Pelicans vs. Los Angeles Lakers (108:124). He contributed to the Lakers ‘ victory with a triple-double for 28 points and 11 rebounds, plus 17 assists.

He also had 5 rebounds. His teammate Anthony Davis scored two more points for the Pelicans. New Orleans was once again led by leading scorer C.J. McCollum with 25 points. The team’s main star Zion Williams didn’t fare too well again, scoring just 12 points in 38 minutes on the floor.
