Thanks to two upsets, Philadelphia is the Magic opponent for the first round

Two improbable results had to happen in order for the 76ers to grab the sixth seed and a first round playoff matchup with the Magic. The Bulls, who had won 15 of their last 16 home games, had to lose to the sub.-500 Raptors, and the 76ers had to go on the road to beat Cleveland, winners of 39 of 40 home games. Surprise... both results happened. The Raptors beat the flat Bulls 109-98, while the 76ers beat the Cavaliers (who were playing without several regulars, including LeBron James) in overtime 111-110.

Meanwhile, the Magic, who had Dwight Howard and J.J. Redick back but were still without Rashard Lewis and Hedo Turkoglu, finally played a good all-around game to break their three game losing streak and ended their season at 59-23 with a convincing 98-73 win over Charlotte.
