Clippers, Timberwolves Secure Play-Off Spots on Final Day of NBA Regular Season

The LA Clippers and Minnesota Timberwolves clinched their places in the NBA play-offs with crucial victories on the final day of the regular season. Both teams delivered standout performances to set up intriguing matchups as the postseason approaches.

The Clippers secured fifth place in the Western Conference with a nail-biting 124-119 overtime win against the Golden State Warriors, who now face the play-in tournament. James Harden shone brightly, scoring 12 of his game-high 39 points in overtime to seal the win.

The Clippers’ victory sets up a first-round play-off showdown against the Denver Nuggets, who locked in fourth place after a convincing 126-111 victory over the Houston Rockets.

Meanwhile, the Timberwolves earned the sixth seed in the West by defeating the Utah Jazz 116-105. Anthony Edwards was unstoppable, leading the way with 43 points to secure Minnesota a play-off clash with the Los Angeles Lakers, the third seed. Edwards’ outstanding performance was pivotal in ensuring the Timberwolves remain a postseason threat.

The NBA play-offs feature eight teams from both conferences. In the East, the Cleveland Cavaliers, Boston Celtics, New York Knicks, Detroit Pistons, Indiana Pacers, and Milwaukee Bucks have secured their spots, while Atlanta Hawks, Orlando Magic, Miami Heat, and Chicago Bulls compete in the play-ins.

In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder, Houston Rockets, Lakers, Timberwolves, Nuggets, and Clippers advance directly to the play-offs. The Warriors, Memphis Grizzlies, Dallas Mavericks, and Sacramento Kings will vie for the final two spots in the play-ins.

The play-in tournament features teams finishing seventh to 10th in their conference. Seventh plays eighth, with the winner advancing to face the second seed. The ninth and 10th teams meet in an elimination game, with the winner then facing the loser of the 7-8 match for the final play-off spot.

The play-offs follow a best-of-seven series format, progressing through the first round, conference semi-finals, and conference finals before culminating in the NBA Finals.
