NBA ROUNDUP Pelicans in, Thunder out on final day Comment By The Associated Press MailTribune.com By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 16, 2015 at 2:00 AM By The Associated Press Posted Apr. 16, 2015 at 2:00 AM » Social News NEW ORLEANS — Anthony Davis had 31 points and 13 rebounds and the New Orleans Pelicans earned their first playoff berth since 2011 with a 108-103 victory over the San Antonio Spurs on Wednesday night. Davis, who'll make his playoff debut against Golden State, came through in the waning minutes with two jumpers, two blocks and two rebounds to prevent the Spurs from pulling off a 23-point comeback. Tyreke Evans had 19 points and 11 assists, and Eric Gordon added 14 points for New Orleans, which had to win to make the postseason because Oklahoma City also won in Minnesota. The teams finished with identical records, but the Pelicans held the tiebreaker on head-to-head results. Tony Parker had 23 points and Borris Diaw 20 for San Antonio, which needed to win to secure the second seed in the Western Conference playoffs. The loss ended the Spurs' 11-game winning streak. THUNDER 138, TIMBERWOLVES 113 : at Minneapolis, Russell Westbrook scored 37 points in Oklahoma City's victory over Minnesota that was rendered moot by New Orleans' playoff-clinching win over San Antonio. The Thunder needed to a win in the regular-season finale and a loss from the Pelicans to make the playoffs. Westbrook locked up his first scoring title to hold up his end of the bargain, but the Pelicans beat the Spurs. That means the Thunder will miss the playoffs for the first time since Westbrook's rookie season in 2008-09. Andrew Wiggins had 23 points and six rebounds for the Timberwolves (16-66), who finished with the worst record in the league. They will have a 25 percent chance at the No. 1 draft pick when the NBA lottery is held on May 19. NETS 101, MAGIC 88 : At New York, Brooklyn clinched the final Eastern Conference playoff spot, beating Orlando and getting help when Memphis knocked off Indiana. The Nets and Pacers tied at 38-44, and Brooklyn earned the No. 8 seed after winning the season series. The Nets will visit top-seeded Atlanta on Sunday for their playoff opener. If Indiana won, the Nets would have missed the postseason for the first time since moving to Brooklyn in 2012. GRIZZLIES 95, PACERS 83 : At Memphis, Tenn., Marc Gasol had 33 points and 13 rebounds and Memphis ended Indiana's playoff hopes. Memphis earned the Western Conference's fifth seed with the victory and home-court advantage in a series with fourth-seeded Portland, winners of the Northwest Division. WARRIORS 133, NUGGETS 126 : At Oakland, Calif., Klay Thompson scored 25 points before resting in the second half and Golden State wrapped up the best the regular season in franchise history. Starters on both sides rested most of the game, with the Warriors tuning up for the playoffs and Denver long out of contention. The biggest developments for Golden State, which secured home-court advantage throughout the playoffs a couple weeks ago, came on the out-of-town scoreboard. ROCKETS 117, JAZZ 91 : At Houston, James Harden had 16 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists in just three quarters for his fourth triple-double of the season and Houston never trailed against Utah. Houston won the Southwest Division and got the No. 2 seed in the Western Conference when San Antonio lost to New Orleans a few minutes later. The Rockets will face No. 7 seed Dallas in the first round. CAVALIERS 113, WIZARDS 108, OT : At Cleveland, LeBron James sat out Cleveland's regular-season finale to rest for the playoffs and the Cavaliers rallied to beat Washington. James spent the night dressed as if he was headed to a business meeting, not the postseason, and the Cavs only played their other starters in the first half. RAPTORS 92, HORNETS 87 : At Toronto, Kyle Lowry scored 26 points and Toronto wrapped up the regular season with their franchise record 49th victory, beating Charlotte. Jonas Valanciunas added 18 points, DeMar DeRozan had 16 and Terrence Ross 13 for the Raptors. They will open the playoffs at home Saturday against Washington. HEAT 105, 76ERS 101 : At Philadelphia, Henry Walker hit the go-ahead 3-pointer with 9 seconds left and Miami ended the season with two wins in one game. The Heat's win paired with Brooklyn's win meant Miami is all but assured of keeping its top-10 draft pick. If Miami owns the No. 10 pick or better after the draft lottery, the Heat keep that selection. BULLS 91, HAWKS 85 : At Chicago, Aaron Brooks scored 23 points and Chicago rallied from 18 down to beat Atlanta. The Bulls locked up the third seed in the Eastern Conference and a first-round matchup with Milwaukee with their fourth straight win. CELTICS 105, BUCKS 100 : At Milwaukee, Gigi Datome scored 22 points, including two key baskets in the final 3 minutes, and Boston ended the regular season with its sixth straight victory. Kelly Olynyk added 16 for the Celtics, the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. KINGS 122, LAKERS 99 : At Los Angeles, Ben McLemore scored 24 points, Derrick Williams added 22 and Sacramento sent Los Angeles to the worst record in franchise history. PISTONS 112, KNICKS 90 : At New York, Reggie Jackson had 24 points and 11 assists and Detroit beat New York.
