The Los Angeles Lakers stand in the way of the New Orleans Pelicans. Again.

If the Pelicans can knock off the Lakers by at least five points in the last summer league matchup on Friday’s schedule, they could find themselves in the championship game, pending other earlier outcomes.

FYI my best understanding of #SummerPelicans (2-1) hopes of reaching title game: at minimum they must beat Lakers AND win by at least 4 points
The 3-1 teams in “pole position” are:
NYK +47 point diff
Por +33
NOP is +29 entering today
Phx +22, Ind +19, Tor +16 are 2-1, play Fri— Jim Eichenhofer (@Jim_Eichenhofer) July 15, 2022

So asides from feeding our inner petty desires, there’s another reason to hope for New Orleans running up a victorious score against Los Angeles.
