NBA Night: Pacers e Bulls accedono ai playoff, beffati gli Heat. Ai Clippers il quarto posto ad Ovest
Nelle altre partite della notte, Pacers e Bulls accedono ai playoff battendo, rispettivamente, Hawks e Nets. Beffati gli Heat che, nonostante la vittoria sui Wizards ed in possesso dello stesso record dei Bulls (41-41), sono esclusi dalla post-season a causa degli scontri diretti. Si assicurano il quarto posto ad Ovest ed il conseguente fattore campo ai danni dei Jazz (comunque vincenti sugli Spurs) i Clippers, che superano agevolmente i Kings. Vittorie inoltre, tutte ininfluenti, per Rockets, Mavs, Knicks, Magic e Pelicans. Infine, gli Warriors chiudono la RS con una vittoria ed il record di 67-15, il migliore della lega.
