Hawks Clinch Playoff Berth, Hornets Locked Into Play-In

The Atlanta Hawks are officially in the playoffs. Their win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Friday night clinched their postseason berth, and the Hawks will be a tough out for anyone in the East bracket.

On the other end, the Charlotte Hornets' loss to Detroit locked them into the Play-In Tournament. Charlotte has been inconsistent all season and now faces a do-or-die scenario just to make the first round.

With the regular season ending Sunday, 14 of the 20 postseason seeds are still up for grabs. The East is particularly wild — the Knicks are still alive for the No. 2 seed after beating Boston, and multiple Play-In matchups could shift with Saturday and Sunday's results.
