The 2025-26 NBA regular season reached an exciting conclusion, with playoff and play-in tournament positioning coming down to the final Sunday, and now the playoffs are here.
The Detroit Pistons closed with the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, while the Boston Celtics had an impressive regular season — most of which was played without Jayson Tatum as he recovered from an Achilles injury suffered in last year’s postseason — and finished with the second seed in the East.
