NBA Play-In & Eastern Conference Seeding

The Golden State Warriors staged a dramatic fourth-quarter comeback, erasing a 13-point deficit against the Los Angeles Clippers to stay alive in the play-in tournament, though the contest was marred when referee Ben Taylor exited due to an injury sustained during play. Over in the East, the Philadelphia 76ers punched their first-round ticket by defeating the Magic 109-97, securing the seventh seed where they will face the rival Boston Celtics, all accomplished while star Joel Embiid rested on the bench alongside a 31-point performance from Tyrese Maxey.
