Although a Boston Celtics loss to the Memphis Grizzlies would've allowed the Sixers to move into the third seed, which would draw the Chicago Bulls in round one, the Celtics took care of business and moved into the second seed.
As it has for the past couple of years, the league is again featuring a play-in tournament to determine the seventh and eighth seeds in both conferences.
A couple of days later on Tuesday, April 12, the play-in tourney will begin and will end on Friday, April 15.
