Next step in The Process: 76ers seal playoff bid

The Philadelphia 76ers didn't play on Sunday, but they still clinched their first playoff berth in six seasons when the Indiana Pacers beat the Miami Heat.

The Sixers last made the playoffs in the 2011-12 season, which was shortened to 66 games by a lockout. Prior to this season, that marked the last time Philadelphia posted a winning record, as they went 35-31.

Philadelphia is 42-30 with 10 games remaining in the regular season and sits fourth in the Eastern Conference. The Pacers improved to 43-31 with the 113-107 win over the Heat and also secured a playoff berth.
