CHICAGO — The Chicago Bulls clinched a spot in the NBA postseason Tuesday night — and they didn’t even have to do the heavy lifting.
But the celebration was short-lived as the Bulls lost 123-105 to the Atlanta Hawks an hour later, all but cornering themselves into the least favorable seed.
The Orlando Magic provided the Bulls with a gift by losing to the Cleveland Cavaliers 117-113, clinching a spot in the play-in tournament for the Bulls, who are guaranteed to finish no worse than 10th in the Eastern Conference.
