The Fort Wayne Mad Ants, the Pacers' D-League affiliate, are closing in on a playoff berth after another strong week. Fort Wayne closed out their five-game Western Conference road trip with a win, then returned home and split a pair of games over the weekend, bringing its record to 26-19.
With five games left in the regular season, the Mad Ants are currently in third place in the Eastern Conference and have a firm grip on the fourth and final playoff spot in the East. Fort Wayne is two games up on the Delaware 87ers in the loss column.
