Chicago Bulls Secure Play-In Tournament Spot for Second Year in a Row; Battle for Home Court advantage against Atlanta Hawks intensifies

The Chicago Bulls have secured a spot in the NBA Play-In Tournament for the second consecutive season, thanks to the Brooklyn Nets’ loss to the Indiana Pacers on Monday night. With just six games left in the regular season, the Bulls are now officially out of the running for the sixth seed, which would have allowed them to avoid the Play-In Tournament altogether. However, they still have a chance to host their first play-in game by winning against the Atlanta Hawks.

The Bulls’ magic number to clinch the ninth seed is six, which means they need a combination of wins and losses from the Hawks totaling six. It is increasingly likely that the Bulls and Hawks will face off in the first play-in game, with only one question remaining: who will host it.

Following a 113-101 loss to the Hawks on Monday, the Bulls currently hold the ninth seed by just half a game. They are now focusing on securing that final spot and preparing for their upcoming play-in game against their divisional rivals.
