The Eastern Conference second seed Celtics will be playing the seventh seed Chicago Bulls in the first round of the playoffs. A Bulls home loss tonight against Toronto combined with the Sixers road win at Cleveland (without All-Stars LeBron James and Mo Williams) allowed Philadelphia to leap frog Chicago for the sixth seed. The Celtics won the season series over Chicago 2-1.
