The NBA In-Season Tournament schedule continues today with a pair of semi-final games on tap. The Los Angeles Lakers will face the New Orleans Pelicans at 6:00 PM, Pacific while the and Indiana Pacers tip off at 2:00 PM. The winners of those games will head to the championship on Saturday.
Portland Trail Blazers fans can’t possibly miss that their former starting guards—Damian Lillard and CJ McCollum—are both in the tournament still, threatening to help and/or lead their teams to the inaugural trophy. The half-million dollar bonus for winning the tourney would buy a nice new studio microphone for Lillard or a couple of wine-aging barrels for McCollum.
