The New York Knicks secured the No. 3 seed in the Eastern Conference after defeating the Toronto Raptors for the 13th consecutive time. Jalen Brunson led the charge with 29 points, though the victory was tempered by an ankle injury to OG Anunoby. Meanwhile, the Boston Celtics clinched the No. 2 seed and tied an NBA record by sinking 29 three pointers in their latest win. 

Elsewhere, the Miami Heat dominated the Washington Wizards with a 140-117 victory, behind 24 point performances from Simone Fontecchio and Pelle Larsson. This loss officially cemented the Wizards' position with the worst record in the NBA this season. The Orlando Magic also made a significant move, beating the Chicago Bulls to enter a tie for sixth place in the East. 

With the regular season concluding tomorrow, Sunday, the playoff and play-in pictures are nearly finalized. The Heat are locked into their fourth consecutive playoff appearance, while teams like the Magic and Knicks are preparing for their confirmed postseason berths.
