NBA Update: L.A. And New York Area Teams

Yesterday in New York, the significantly more publicized L.A. and New York teams met in what was a meaningless game, between the highly disappointing Lakers and the New York Knicks, the latter with the worst NBA record this season.

At night in L.A, the Less publicized L.A. Clippers and Brooklyn Nets, each middle to lower pack, but likely (the Nets are likely, the Clippers almost certain) playoffs bound teams clashed.

Not that it really mattered, but the Knicks and Clippers won games that were not decided until the very end.

The really sad reality is that often hitting bottom helps in sports, sometimes through a great draft (see the Pittsburgh Steelers circa 1970), but often by buying players without fair return compensation.

Yesterday the NCAA Tournament first round and “before” games were set, soon so will the NBA and NHL.
