Here is how East Group A now looks after today’s game:
| Team | Record | Point Differential |
|---|---|---|
| Orlando Magic | 3–1 | +22 |
| Boston Celtics | 2–1 | 0 |
| Brooklyn Nets | 2–1 | +8 |
| Chicago Bulls (E) | 0–2 | –8 |
| Toronto Raptors (E) | 0–2 | –22 |
Remaining game today: Bulls vs. Raptors (7:30 PM Eastern)
Remaining games on November 28th (next Tuesday): Bulls vs. Celtics, Raptors vs. Nets (both tip-offs 7:30 PM Eastern)
As a reminder, head-to-head record is the first tiebreaker followed by point differential. Orlando holds the head-to-head over Boston now, but Brooklyn holds the head-to-head over Orlando. If the Celtics and Nets both win, it comes down to point differential because all three teams are 1–1 against each other.
What this means so far that the Magic gave themselves a good chance of advancing to the quarterfinals as group winners as long as the Celtics don’t blow out the Bulls while the Nets blow out the Raptors on Tuesday.
