After a hectic last day of the regular season, the seeds for the NBA Playoffs have been finalized.
The Milwaukee Bucks and the Cleveland Cavaliers did not want the No. 2 seed, as evidenced by their decision to bench key players. The New York Knicks, however, went all-out to secure the No. 2 seed, which they did thanks to a 120-119 overtime victory over the Chicago Bulls.
The Bucks and the Cavaliers will be the No. 3 and No. 4 seeds, respectively.
In the West, the Oklahoma City Thunder clinched the No. 1 seed with a dominant 135-86 win over the Dallas Mavericks. The Denver Nuggets fell to the No. 2 seed.
The Minnesota Timberwolves, who would have clinched the No. 1 seed with a win on Sunday, lost to the Phoenix Suns, which dropped them to the No. 3 seed.
