Virtually every team in the NBA was in action on the final Sunday of the regular season, as there were 14 games on the schedule. While some squads are just days away from summer vacation, others are gearing up for the playoff push.
Starting things off, the Raptors took down the Heat in overtime to put Miami on the brink of being eliminated from the playoffs. In addition, the Thunder also continued to build momentum for the postseason as they pulled off a comeback win against the Timberwolves.
Later on, at least a portion of Eastern Conference playoff positioning was decided with the Nets clinching a playoff spot for the first time in four seasons with a win over the Pacers.
The Trail Blazers finished off the night by topping the Nuggets in a game that definitely benefitted them. Portland now is in firm control of the fourth seed in the Western Conference after the Clippers fell to the Warriors in the final regular-season game at Oracle Arena.
