Bucks performed well at home, Lakers suffered three consecutive losses, Pelicans missed the playoffs

On March 14 , the NBA regular season continued. The Milwaukee Bucks played against the Los Angeles Lakers at home. Thanks to the near triple-double performance of Giannis Antetokounmpo and the stable performance of players such as Lillard, Lopez and Kevin Porter, the Bucks finally defeated the Lakers 126-106 and successfully ended their three-game losing streak. The Lakers suffered three consecutive losses in the absence of James, and their playoff prospects were once again overshadowed .

In this game, the Lakers still lacked James, while the Bucks were in high spirits at home and quickly established a leading advantage at the start. Although Doncic performed well for the Lakers, scoring 45 points and 11 rebounds, and Reeves also contributed 28 points and 8 rebounds, the Lakers were in poor overall condition and were unable to overtake the score. For the Bucks, Antetokounmpo showed dominance, scoring 24 points, 12 rebounds and 9 assists, a near triple-double, Lopez 23 points, 5 assists and 4 blocks, Lillard 22 points, 10 assists and 6 rebounds, Kevin Porter 22 points, the four of them worked together to lead the team to a big victory over the Lakers, ending a three-game losing streak.

The Lakers are currently at a critical stage. James' injury has put the team in trouble, and their recent losing streak has put their playoff spot in jeopardy.

In another highly anticipated game, the Orlando Magic challenged the New Orleans Pelicans away. Led by Bankero, Wagner and Pope, the Magic dominated the game and led by as many as 36 points. Although the Pelicans tried to fight back in the final quarter, they were still unable to turn the tide and eventually lost to the Magic 93-113, becoming another Western Conference team that was determined to miss the playoffs after the Utah Jazz.

For the Magic, Bankero scored 34 points, 11 rebounds, 4 assists and 4 steals, Wagner Jr. contributed 27 points, 6 rebounds and 5 assists, Pope and Joseph each scored 12 points, helping the team to win easily. For the Pelicans, Zion Williamson contributed 20 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists, Murphy scored 17 points and 5 rebounds, and McCollum had a sluggish touch and only scored 9 points.

For the Pelicans, this season's loss has once again frustrated their rebuilding plans, and Zion's health issues remain a long-term challenge for the team.

In other games, the Detroit Pistons played against the Washington Wizards, who were at the bottom of the Eastern Conference. Pistons star Cunningham scored a game-high 38 points and 10 assists, but the Wizards resisted tenaciously. Middleton contributed 16 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds, leading the team to an upset victory of 129-125 over the Pistons, ending their two-game losing streak.

The Chicago Bulls defeated the Brooklyn Nets 116-110 at home, winning four consecutive games. They currently lead the Toronto Raptors by five games and continue to consolidate their ranking in the Eastern Conference play-offs.

As the regular season enters its final stage, the playoff battle among teams becomes more intense. The losing streak of the Lakers, Pelicans and other teams has made their situation more difficult, while the Bulls and other teams are striving to qualify for the play-offs. The competition for playoff spots in the NBA has entered a white-hot stage.
