Goal Achieved: The Sixers will finish the regular season in first place in the East for the first time since 2001, with a win that will help them greatly restore that year's achievement, so Alan Iverson swept them to the final. -NBA. Aside from gaining a home-court advantage until the playoffs, the significance of securing first place for the Phillies is particularly great, as they will not be able to meet Brooklyn and Milwaukee until the conference finals. A second quarter of 19:39 gave the home team a big advantage that they did not drop until the end, with Seth Kerry assisting as the leading scorer with 20 and Joel Ambide (11 rebounds) and Ben Simmons (9 assists) settle for 11 each. The Magic was led by Ignes Brasdeikeis with 21 points off the bench.

The turnaround is complete: After a weak season opener, after moments when they seemed closer to tanking than the playoffs, the Wizards secure their place in the top 10 and playoffs, and can still finish in eighth place in the East, which will give them a shorter track to the first round. Injured Bradley Bill continued to be absent, but Russell Westbrook went on his own with the 183rd triple-double of his career that included 21 points, 17 assists (seventh straight game with 15 assists or more) and 12 rebounds, marching Scott Brooks' team to victory. Davis Bartans (17) and Roy Hachimura and Robin Lopez (14 each) assisted, Colin Sexton's 26 and Jarrett Allen's 18 and 14 rebounds on the other side were not enough, and now Washington's face for their final game of the regular season against Charlotte , Which could turn into a direct battle for eighth place (the Wizards are a game behind the Hornets and after Indiana, which has a game left against the Lakers).

Luca Doncic's triple-double with 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds and a double-double by Kristaps Forzingis with 21 and 10 rebounds, gave Dallas a hard-fought victory, after they went down to half with a double-digit lead and almost dropped it in the closing minutes.

Jaylen Harris with 31 points and Malachi Flynn with 26 and 6 assists were prominent among the Raptors, who have already lost interest this season and put up a secondary roster.

Another step on the way to securing first place in the West: The Jazz defeated the weak opponent who suffered a 23 loss in the last 24 games in a one-sided game during which it did not lag behind and led by 29 points at the peak.
