Following the Philadelphia 76ers’ thrilling double-overtime win over the San Antonio Spurs on Sunday night, they have surged ahead to seventh place in the Eastern Conference. Let’s take a look at the current standings between Indiana, Philadelphia and Miami.
The Indiana Pacers and Sixers each have just three games remaining, while the Heat have four games left. Notably, the Sixers would lose the tiebreakers between either the Pacers or the Heat, or in the event of a three-way tie (Indiana wins any tiebreakers with the other clubs).
The sixth seed is the obvious prize by virtue of avoiding the Play-In Tournament altogether.
