It took the full 82 games, but the NBA’s Play-In Tournament is set.
On Sunday, the Brooklyn Nets dispatched the Indiana Pacers, securing the seventh seed in the Eastern Conference and setting up a matchup with the eighth-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers. The Charlotte Hornets travel to take on the Atlanta Hawks in the 9 vs. 10 contest.
The seven-seed Minnesota Timberwolves welcome the eight-seed LA Clippers in the West, with the New Orleans Pelicans hosting the San Antonio Spurs in the other meeting.
NBA Play-in Tournament:

East: Brooklyn (7) vs. Cleveland (8)
Atlanta (9) vs. Charlotte (10)
West: Minnesota (7) vs. Clippers (8)
New Orleans (9) vs. San Antonio (10)
The winner of the 7 vs. 8 matchups guarantees themselves the seventh seed in their respective conference. The loser gets one more crack at a postseason berth by taking on the winner of the 9 vs. 10 game, with the winner of that game securing the eighth seed. The loser of the 9 vs. 10 contest is sent packing with no chance at redemption.
