On March 25, Beijing time, the NBA regular season continued to be hot. The Top Bucks, Cavaliers, Bulls and other powerful teams in the Eastern Division have all competed against each other's opponents. After the game, the ranking and pattern of the Eastern Division changed again.
The Bucks tackled the Wizards and refused a 26-point comeback
Defending champion Bucks staged a wonderful showdown with the Wizards of the East. The trend of this game has also taken many turns. The Bucks, led by Juhorday, relied on excellent teamwork and a good outside feel, and at one point held a 26-point lead in the first half. The Wizards, who scored only 13 points in the first quarter, gradually found a feel in the second quarter. At halftime, Milwaukee had an 18-point lead.
Bucks vs. Wizards
Fighting again, the Bucks opened fire inside and outside, constantly expanding the point difference. Before heading into the fourth quarter, the Wizards trailed their opponents by 26 points. In the final quarter, the Washington congregation, led by Pope, Porzingis and others, launched a crazy counterattack. The Bucks led by a large margin and the quality of their defense declined. The Wizards blasted back-to-back offensive frenzy and narrowed the gap to seven with just 2 minutes left in the game. Washington's generals saw hope of a reversal in defeating the defending champions.
However, Allen's long-range shot helped the Bucks stabilize the situation on the court. After that, the Wizards couldn't shoot from a long distance, and there were mistakes, and Connaughton made 2 free throws to help the Bucks seal the win. The Bucks took a 114-102 draw, rejecting a 26-point reversal and also rejecting upsets.

Refusing a 26-point reversal, the Bucks are in the 1st round to play the Nets? 76ers fell to the 3rd and received 2nd gift!
The Bucks overtook the 76ers and returned to Second place in the East
It is worth noting that the Bucks' two major stars, Alphabet Brother and Middleton, are absent from the game. In the case of untidy personnel, the Bucks still achieved two consecutive wins. The Bucks overtook the 76ers with a 0.5-win margin and moved up from 3rd to 2nd in the East. The 76ers, on the other hand, swapped their standings with the Bucks, dropping from No. 2 to No. 3.

The Bucks have the first chance to hit the East
The Bucks are currently only one win behind the No. 1 Heat in the East, and with starting center Brook Lopez returning from injury and returning from an important rotation, the Bucks have become stronger on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends.
The Heat, on the other hand, swallowed 2 consecutive defeats, and in recent days, there has been news of a dispute between main player Jimmy Butler, veteran Haslem, and head coach Spollstra. The uneven Heat are likely to have a fluctuating record. The Bucks, which are gaining momentum, have a good opportunity to hit the No. 1 in the East.

Do the Bucks playoff first round playoffs play the Nets?
If the Bucks stay no. 2 in the East, or even no. 1 in the East, they're likely to play the Nets in the first round of the playoffs. Judging from the current rankings, the Nets are very likely to win a playoff spot by participating in the playoffs, and the top 2 in the East are expected to become Brooklyn's opponents in the first round. Are the Bucks really going to play the Nets in the first round of the playoffs? It is worth noting that the Bucks experienced 7 major battles in the Eastern Conference semifinals last season before finally eliminating the Nets.

The 76ers fell to 3rd, but received 2 big gifts
The 76ers dropped to No. 3 in the East, but received gifts from competitors.
No. 1, the Bulls lost to the Pelicans 109-126 and continued to rank 5th in the East. The Bulls are already 3.5 wins behind the 76ers, and Philadelphia doesn't have to worry about being overtaken by Chicago for the time being. The Bulls once topped the Eastern Conference and were the 76ers' formidable opponent in the Eastern Conference. The Bulls' loss allowed the 76ers to enjoy the game.
The Bulls and Cavaliers lost one after another
Second, the Cavaliers lost 104-117 to the Raptors and continued to rank 6th in the East. The Cavaliers are already 4.5 wins behind the 76ers, and Philadelphia has cemented the current rankings. The Cavaliers' loss was a favorite of rival 76ers.
The Bulls and Cavaliers lost one after another and gave the 76ers two gifts. It is worth noting that the 76ers led by James Harden, Joel Bede, Maxi and Tobias Harris, if they maintain the current ranking, are likely to avoid the Nets led by Kyrie Irving and Kevin Durant in the first round of the playoffs.
The 76ers started the Tigers
The Nets, no. 8 in the East, have recently received a welcome from Kyrie Irving for admission to the home game. If the Nets earn playoff spots through playoffs, then the 1st in the East and 2nd in the East may be the Nets' opponents in the first round of the playoffs. Judging from the current rankings, the Heat and Bucks are likely to play against the Nets in the first round of the playoffs, which helps the 76ers go further in the playoffs.
Kevin Durant and Kyrie Owen
After all, the Nets, led by Durant and Irving, have strong offensive firepower, which the 76ers are more afraid of. Avoiding Brooklyn in the first round also helped to suffer too much attrition in Round 1 of the playoffs.
