What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Rob Perez @WorldWideWobSpurs schedule on the left
Lakers schedule on the right
SA leads LAL by 1 game + tiebreaker
assuming double-digit favorite Spurs win again vs. POR + Lakers somehow win out: they’ll need SA to go 2-2 those final four games to get into play-in tournament. pic.twitter.com/AYXKtoaoF9 – 1:35 AM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBAPaths for Spurs to finish ahead of New Orleans for 9th:
1. Spurs go 5-0, Pels go 3-2
2. Spurs go 4-1, Pels go 2-3
3. Spurs go 3-2, Pels go 1-4
4. Spurs go 2-3, Pels go 0-5 – 1:26 AM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBAFor the Spurs to eliminate the Lakers from the playoff picture, San Antonio needs to have 1 of the following scenarios:
…win 4 games
…win 3 games, Lakers go 4-1
…win 2 games, Lakers go 3-2
…win 1 game, Lakers go 2-3
…lose all games, Lakers go 1-4 – 1:23 AM
Melissa Rohlin @melissarohlinThe Lakers suffer a BIG 114-111 loss to the New Orleans Pelicans, making their chances of making the play-in tournament tough. They now have to pick up two games against the Spurs to make the play-in tournament and they only have five games left. – 1:12 AM
Mike Finger @mikefingerForty years ago, San Antonio gave Hollywood the kid in the E.T. movie.
Now L.A. is gifting San Antonio a play-in berth. – 1:10 AM
Matthew Tynan @Matthew_TynanThe Spurs are now a full game up on the Lakers for the 10th spot. Add on the tiebreaker and it’s essentially a two-game lead with five games remaining. Crazy. – 1:10 AM
Kurt Helin @basketballtalkWith the Spurs win and Lakers loss, SA now one game up in the race for the 10th and final play-in spot in the West.
But that is really 2 games with the Spurs having the tie break. Meaning if the Spurs beat the Blazers again (likely) the Lakers need to win 3-of-5 to make play-in – 1:09 AM
Paul Garcia @PaulGarciaNBAThe Spurs (10th) are now 1 game ahead of the Lakers and 2 games behind the Pelicans (9th).
This after the Lakers’ loss to the Pels – 1:09 AM
Dave McMenamin @mctenLakers drop a costly one against the Pelicans, 114-111, with LeBron missing a potential tying 3 at the buzzer. LeBron 38p 8r; AD 23p 12r 6a; Monk 13p 7a; Russ 12p 5a. LAL has to pick up 2 games on SAS in last 5 to sneak into play-in. Season on life support. pic.twitter.com/lucekrYZl5 – 1:09 AM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSThe Spurs play the Blazers tomorrow. Their last four are Nuggets, Wolves, Warriors and Mavs.
Even if the Spurs lose those last four (they’re beating Portland), the Lakers would have to win three of the following to pass them: Nuggets, at Suns, at Warriors, Thunder, at Nuggets. – 1:08 AM
StatMuse @statmuse10. Spurs 32-45 (hold tiebreaker)
11. Lakers 31-46
Spurs remaining schedule: Blazers, Nuggets, Wolves, Warriors, Mavs.
Lakers remaining schedule: Nuggets, Suns, Warriors, OKC, Nuggets. pic.twitter.com/2y3jEjkkdm – 1:08 AM
Andrew Lopez @_Andrew_LopezPlay-in race standings:
No. 9 – Pelicans – 34-43
No. 10 – Spurs – 32-45
No. 11 – Lakers – 31-46 – 1:08 AM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontempsPelicans win. Lakers are now essentially two back of the Spurs with five to go for the final play-in spot, as Spurs will own the tiebreaker. If the Lakers don’t get in, Pelicans will get their draft pick, too. – 1:07 AM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaFinal: Pelicans 114, Lakers 111
The Lakers’ hopes of making the Play-In tournament are slim to none after this L. They’d have to realistically win at least three of their final five games (assuming the Spurs beat the Blazers in their next game).
Up next: vs. Denver on Sunday. – 1:07 AM
Brad Turner @BA_TurnerLeBron James air ball 3 attempt to tie score and Lakers fall to Pelicans 114-111. Lakers back to 11th seed in West, 1 game behind Spurs for play-in game. James had 38 points, – 1:07 AM
Bill Oram @billoramThe Lakers lose 114-111. What a blow. They are now a full game behind San Antonio, plus the tiebreaker. They would need to finish two games better than the Spurs over the final five games to make the Play-In.
That, loyal reader, ain’t happening. – 1:07 AM
Kellan Olson @KellanOlsonWe might have our play-in teams set. Lakers lost to the Pelicans and are now a game back of the Spurs for the last play-in spot but it’s basically 2 because SA has the tiebreaker. LA’s last 5 games are against DEN, PHX, GSW, OKC and DEN again. Tough to see it. – 1:07 AM
Rob Perez @WorldWideWobSpurs won and have a two-game lead with the tiebreaker included, this is pretty much the season right here in LA. – 1:02 AM
Josh Richardson @J_Rich1Moving right along pic.twitter.com/dj53GGuw4Z – 12:29 AM
Tim Bontemps @TimBontempsLakers up 87-86 over the Pelicans after 3.
If the Lakers lose this game, they’ll essentially be two back of the Spurs in 10th with five to play, as SAS have a better conference record. And Spurs have another Portland game left.
Big 12 minutes upcoming for LA’s postseason hopes. – 12:26 AM

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsbornMore from Lonnie on whether Spurs have ever played an April Fool’s joke on Pop: “Maybe Keldon. He’s pretty crazy. Only crazy people would do it.” – 11:56 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsbornLonnie, when @Abrjsdad asked him if Spurs have ever played an April Fool’s joke on Pop: “I would be in Austin. I would probably be running a couple of suicides. That is a big no-no. He didn’t even really like when we sang ‘Happy Birthday’ to him this year.” – 11:55 PM
John Schuhmann @johnschuhmannWith the Blazers eliminated, the Celtics (8 years, including this year) now have the longest active playoff streak.
Blazers had 8 straight playoff appearances through last season. – 11:44 PM

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsbornCollins on if Sunday vs. Blazers again is a must win:
“All these games are must wins for us, in my opinion. I think we all know that. Any win we gets helps our position more and more, and we are all locked in.” – 11:35 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsbornCollins said Blazers playing zone resulted in his career-high 5 assists: “With the zone, it’s hard to go 1 on 1. You need a lot of movement and you have to get the ball to the middle. We knew we couldn’t stand around. The guys were cutting and I was able to find them.” – 11:34 PM

Tom Orsborn @tom_orsbornZach Collins after his best all-around game with Spurs:
“I feel so much better than I did my first game back, leaps and bounds better. Just have to keep on that trajectory.” – 11:18 PM
Matthew Tynan @Matthew_TynanTake what you will from these Blazers games, but if SA treats them the right way they can essentially serve as mini springboards down the stretch here. Spurs are playing arguably their best ball of the season right now, so being able to lock in and hone their tools matters – 11:17 PM
Anfernee Simons @AnferneeSimonsOh fr?😳🔥 @Robert Covington – 11:13 PM
Aaron J. Fentress @AaronJFentressBlazers lost. Kings won. Blazers picked up a game in the race for the 6th-worst record in the NBA.
5th is not going to happen unless Indiana brings back prime Reggie Miller. – 11:11 PM
Tom Orsborn @tom_orsbornPop was impressed with how the undermanned Blazers still played hard throughout:
“We played them pretty well in Portland, and they came back and they bust their ass. Chauncey was that kind of player. He’s going to have high standards. They are going to work hard for him.”” – 11:08 PM
Matt Williams @StatsWilliamsJalen Green is the 5th player in NBA history (and first rookie) to record 3 straight games with 30 points and 6 3-pointers.
He joins:
Stephen Curry
Klay Thompson

Anthony Slater @anthonyVslaterWouldn’t categorize the Steph Curry update as good or particularly bad news for Warriors. They initially thought there was outside chance he’d return for game or two. He won’t. Still on track for playoffs. Extra 24 mins vs Spurs on April 9 wouldn’t have changed continuity issues. – 3:36 PM
