Brooklyn will be. On the night of Tuesday to Wednesday, as part of the NBA play-in, the Brooklyn Nets enforced logic and beat the Cleveland Cavaliers (115-108), to afford the right to join the play- off.

On the side of the winners of the day, Kyrie Irving finished top scorer in his franchise, with a double-double in the key and personal statistics of 34 points, 3 rebounds and 12 assists. In the play-offs, Brooklyn will face Boston in the first round. For its part, Cleveland will have a new chance, once morest Atlanta or Charlotte.

Despite Paul George, his franchise’s top scorer but also the game’s top scorer, with personal statistics of 34 points, 7 rebounds and 5 assists, the Clippers had to admit defeat, while they were still ahead in the fourth quarter (94-95). But nothing is lost for them, since they will still have a chance, once morest New Orleans or San Antonio. For its part, Minnesota will face Memphis in the first round of the play-offs.
