No need to panic, everybody. While this season has not at all gone how Indiana Pacers fans wanted, they will still be playing for a shot at the title come mid-April.
They have officially clinched a playoff birth.
The Heat loss to the Bucks last night was the game that sealed the deal. Because of that loss, the Pacers can finish this season no worse than 8th in the Eastern Conference, because there is no way the 9th seeded Magic and the 8th seeded Heat can both catch the Pacers in the standings.
