During the wee hours of Monday, March 25th, the Los Angeles Lakers played host to a regular season home game against the Indiana Pacers. The Lakers earned a 145-145 victory.
As reported by ESPN, the hosts orchestrated the most productive match in NBA history over the past three-and-a-half decades, surpassing their team’s season record for productivity. This level of productivity was not seen from the Lakers since January 2, 1987. Moreover, the match contested between Los Angeles and Indiana surpassed all scorers in terms of points in the current NBA season.
It is noteworthy to mention that during the regular season, the Milwaukee Bucks faced off against the Phoenix Suns and emerged victorious by a score of 140 to 129. As per the official statement of the organization, the Bucks made 18 of 27 three-point attempts in the initial half, matching an NBA record in this category.
The structure of the NBA All-Star Game may also be substantially altered. In lieu of the customary matchup between Western and Eastern Conference champions, NBA Commissioner Adam Silver does not rule out the possibility that Team USA and the rest of the world may soon compete.
