CHICAGO -- The Chicago Bulls clinched their spot in the Eastern Conference play-in tournament on Tuesday, securing at least the No. 10 seed in the conference despite a 123-105 loss to the Atlanta Hawks.
A 117-113 loss by the Orlando Magic on Tuesday helped secure the Bulls postseason spot and finalized the 10 teams to make the postseason in the East. However, the Bulls spoiled a chance to move up in the standings with a home loss to the Hawks, who were playing without All-Star guard Trae Young (illness).
"We're happy at least that we're going to be in that," Bulls center Nikola Vucevic said after the loss.
