The Chicago Bulls are playoff-bound — kind of.
Despite Wednesday night’s loss to the Milwaukee Bucks, the Bulls solidified their spot as the No. 10 seed in the Eastern Conference, landing the final play-in spot.
Following Tuesday’s loss to Atlanta, the Bulls’ hopes of jumping up to either the No. 7 or No. 8 seed were no more, and Wednesday’s loss to Milwaukee decided their fate.
“It is what it is. We’ll have to deal with it,” Billy Donovan said following Wednesday’s loss.
Looking at the current standings with two games remaining, the Bulls would play the Toronto Raptors in the play-in tournament if the season ended today, as the Hawks hold a one game lead over the Raptors for the No. 8 seed.
In three matchups this season, Toronto won two of the three over Chicago.
