The grid of the teams participating in the second phase of the NBA championship is being consolidated.
In fact, during this night's turn, other positions have been defined: first of all, the Sixers are certain to close the regular season in first place in the east.
Last night Philadelphia beat Orlando Magic 122-97 and after 20 years regained the top of the Eastern.
Positive evening also for the Wizards, who overtook Cleveland 120-105 and earned the last useful place for the play in, also in the Eastern Conference.
To the west, Dallas' victory over the Toronto Raptors 114-110 propelled the Mavericks to fifth place and therefore directly to the playoffs. The last Western ticket is in the balance between Portland and Lakers, the last two rounds of the championship will be decisive, scheduled for tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, to know who will land directly in the playoffs and who will have to settle for the play ins. The Californian champions are currently lagging behind Portland, but they have the favor of the calendar: they will have to play two games and can dream of overtaking, because the Trail Blazers only have one left.
