DeMar DeRozan, who reminded us of his exceptional streak before the All-Star Game break by scoring 50 points and leading the Chicago Bulls to a 135-130 overtime win over the Los Angeles Clippers.

The Milwaukee Bucks and Boston Celtics qualified for the playoffs, and the New York Knicks and Washington Wizards were officially eliminated from the playoffs.

In the Western Conference, the Los Angeles Lakers fell out of the playoffs again after losing to the Utah Jazz.

For the second consecutive game, the Los Angeles Lakers were without LeBron James and Anthony Davis, who is expected to return soon, and were once again relegated from the Western Conference play-in zone after losing their fourth game in a row, this time by a score of 122-109 to the Utah Jazz, for whom Frenchman Rody Gobert contributed 25 points and 17 rebounds to break a five-game losing streak.
