(2) Toronto Raptors (48-20, clinched)
(3) Philadelphia 76ers (42-25, 100.0%)
(4) Indiana Pacers (42-25, 100.0%)
(5) Boston Celtics (41-27, 100.0%)
The Toronto Raptors punched their ticket to the postseason this week, joining the Milwaukee Bucks a week after they clinched their spot.
Meanwhile, the Philadelphia 76ers, Indiana Pacers, and Boston Celtics all moved to within a game and a half of each other in the standings. For what it's worth, the Sixers hold the tiebreaker over the Pacers because of their 3-1 seasons series win, the Cetlics hold it over the Sixers because of their 3-0 lead in that season series, and the Pacers and Celtics are tied 1-1 in theirs with two games left to play (March 29th and April 5th).
