In the highly anticipated matchup of the SoFi Play-In Tournament, the Los Angeles Lakers faced off against the New Orleans Pelicans. The game featured standout performance from Zion Williamson, who made his first playoff appearance and scored 40 points, leading a comeback from an 18-point deficit to tie the game late in the fourth quarter. However, it was not enough as the Lakers secured a 110-106 victory.

The Lakers will now advance as the No. 7 seed and face the defending champion Denver Nuggets in the first round of playoffs. Meanwhile, the Pelicans will have to play again in a do-or-die matchup against the winner of Warriors and Kings game for a chance to enter playoffs as No. 8 seed.
