Out the 6 games played, 5 of the winners were visiting teams. The Lakers keep rolling, with a big win in ATL while the Heat get burned at home by the Blazers. These two games were big games and both meant a whole lot. But probably the biggest game of the night was the Sixers' win in Indiana.
The East has a weird playoff picture; Indiana is a losing team and has a big chance of making playoffs. With the Sixers' win, Philly has pretty much solidified its spot in the playoffs, with Indiana 6 wins behind Philly in the #8 spot.
Philly has a very talented team. They're young and inexperienced, but have a lot of potential. This year's playoffs will serve as a stepping stone for their young roster to learn what it's like. Chances are, they won't make it past the first round; the top 4 teams are too strong to let that happen. But, granted if they have a good summer, Philly could come back and surprise a lot of teams. Iguodala, Holiday, Turner and Williams are big players for the Sixers, who have a bright future a I would not be surprised if they make a push and make it to the second round next year. They have the players and they will have the experience.
