The NBA play-in tournament concludes Friday as two teams from each conference battle for the No. 8 seeds and final spots in the playoffs.

In the West, LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers took care of business Tuesday night, knocking down Zion Williamson and the New Orleans Pelicans to take the No. 7 seed and a chance to avenge last year's playoff sweep against the Denver Nuggets. The Pelicans will now have to take on the Sacramento Kings without Williamson, who is out because of an injured left hamstring.
