The Milwaukee Bucks had a chance at clinching the 6th seed if they had won tonight against the Philadelphia 76ers. The Bucks then looked like a team that really didn’t want to play for the 6th seed, or the 7th, or really at all. Milwaukee let Philly get open threes early and often and the Sixers took full advantage. Milwaukee got down 28 in the first quarter and never recovered. Philly scored 80 points in the first half thanks to open threes, and lack of defense in the paint from Milwaukee. Milwaukee possibly got its wish and landed as the 7th seed because the Miami Heat beat the Toronto Raptors in overtime and the Washington Wizards lost to the Orlando Magic.
