New Orleans has achieved a historic milestone in NBA history

The NBA team New Orleans Pelicans secured a victory over the Sacramento Kings in the regular season with a score of 135-123.

As reported by Basket News, this marks the fifth win for the New Orleans team against the Kings in the current season. Typically, teams from the same conference play a maximum of four head-to-head matches during the regular league championship. The Pelicans' fifth victory over Sacramento was made possible by the encounter between the teams during an intra-season tournament.

Thus, the Pelicans have set an unusual NBA record. New Orleans currently holds the sixth position in the Western Conference standings, while Sacramento occupies the ninth position.

It is worth noting that the Clippers and the Mavericks will face each other in the first round of the playoffs. With two matches remaining in the regular championship, Los Angeles is in fourth place in the Western Conference, while Dallas is in fifth. These two teams will meet in the playoffs for the third time in the last four seasons.
