The first-ever NBA Play-In tournament is a wrap, at least in the Eastern Conference that is. The first leg of the playoff journey is now set for the Sixers. On Tuesday, the 8th seed Washington Wizards got thumped by the 7th seed Boston Celtics 118-100, while the 9th seed Indiana Pacers thrashed the 10th seed Charlotte Hornets. There were no upsets and no close games on this side of the country’s Play-In. Those outcomes led to the Wiz hosting the Pacers this evening in a “winner makes the playoffs, while the loser is done for the year” March Madness-style single-game elimination contest.
