On today's show, second to last night of the NBA season with games, and it's so clear to me.

There's two completely different NBAs.

When that final buzzer rings, you know it's time for a locked on NBA game night.

All the postgame reactions to every game across the league, every single night.

We ain't got time. Welcome to Locked on NBA game night. I'm Nick Angston host Locked Mavericks, part of the Lockdown Podcast Network, your team every day. And joining me, as always on a Friday night. What did you see in the NBA tonight, Hayes? Man, a lot of tanking, tanking hard, You know, a lot of that going on.

Our side of the bracket with the Dallas Mavericks and the Chicago Bulls are, is just, it's a completely different NBA than what we're going to see with the Clippers and the Blazers that we'll talk about. But we'll talk about every single game that happened tonight, every single team played tonight. And so there's something for everybody here in this episode. if you have a favorite team,

we'll touch on them at least a little bit.

So today, let's start with the Portland and so there's something for everybody here in this episode. If you have a favorite team, we'll touch on them at least a little bit.

So today, let's start with the Portland Trailblazers getting a win against the Clippers.

This was a big win for them because this is right now the 8-9 matchup in the Western Conference.

The Portland Trailblers get to win 116 to 97. And now Portland, basically,

they have, they're basically win and they're in to the eighth seed right now. They're going to play the golden, they're going to play the Sacramento Kings, I don't know, Sacramento Kings,

a little feisty here at the end of the season. But basically Portland wins against Sacramento

in their last game of the season.

They are in the eighth spot.

The Clippers play the Golden State Warriors.

They could still technically get there and be in the eighth spot. But it looks like they're going to be the ninth seed. Yeah. I mean, for the Portland Trailblazers is a young team. It's important for them to have those two chances to win one game. Right. So if you get the 8th seed, you got two chances just to win one to get in.

If you go to the ninth seed, you've got to win two games to get in.

So I think for that team that's trying to get over the hump, they're going to finish at least 500 now with getting their 40 first win in the season today. But then also it helps my bulls because we get their pick if they make it to the playoffs. So I got got to keep my own interest involved in that as well. The Clippers were up 88 to 86 with like 11 minutes left in

this game and then they just could not score. They scored two points in six minutes and 30

seconds of game time in the fourth quarter. Just could not get anything going. Darius Garland

didn't have a great game. Kauai was just all right for him. He's been way better this season. And Denny Advia,
