Los Angeles Lakers vs. Phoenix Suns

You found this. Be the first one here.

This is very likely the last one. The final home game of a regular season has a quality nothing else on the calendar produces - a crowd that is simultaneously watching a basketball game and saying goodbye to a building for six months, applauding things that do not strictly deserve it, staying in their seats after the final buzzer for no particular reason. Phoenix are a division opponent, so there may well be seeding on the line, which gives the sentiment something solid to attach itself to. The half past five tip leaves the whole of a Sunday evening afterwards. Go to a last home game once in your life. The season only feels like a season if you were there at both ends of it, and the April version of this room is unrecognisable from October's. Buy ahead if you want to be there. Final home games firm up in the last fortnight regardless of what the standings say, because sentiment is a more reliable buyer than seeding ever was.
