As the regular season in the NBA reaches its end, two teams have gotten a solid advantage to enter the playoffs in the Eastern Conference. The Indiana Pacers faced no problem against the utterly horrible Philadelphia 76ers on the road and the Detroit Pistons got a crucial victory against the Chicago Bulls, greatly increasing their own chances to finish among the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference while significantly reducing the ones of their opponents.
In the meantime, after the Toronto Raptors‘ defeat in the hands of the San Antonio Spurs, the Cleveland Cavaliers are now the favorites to finish the regular season at first place. In the Western Conference the Portland Trail Blazers threaten Memphis Grizzlies for the fifth place in the standings.
The Results:
Philadelphia 76ers – Indiana Pacers (C.J. Miles 25 p.) : 102 – 115
Chicago Bulls – Detroit Pistons (Tobias Harris 21 p. 7 r.): 90 – 94
San Antonio Spurs (Kawhi Leonard 33 p. 7 a. 6 r.) – Toronto Raptors: 102 – 95
Denver Nuggets – Sacramento Kings (Rudy Gay 25 p. 9 r.): 106 – 115
Portland Trail Blazers (C.J. McCollum 24 p. 7 a.) – Miami Heat: 110 – 93
