Bulls have passed the Sixers. They're winning with their defense. It's ugly but they're hustling like they did against us on the boards.
Boston is down to the Nuggets. 55-42 at the half. The Celts are still on their 8 game road trip. If we can keep winning we can catch them.

If you look at the remaining schedules of the teams we're closest to in the standings, we may have a better chance of surpassing Boston than Milwaukee. We have 2 left against Milwaukee which are must wins. But Milwaukee overall has a very east schedule remaining.
Boston on the other hand has incredibly tough games left. They still have 4 road games left on their current swing. A few easier games to finish the month. But to start April they have 7 straight against playoff teams: Miami, SAS, Chi, Ind, Phi, Mia, ATL. And then to close the month they have NYK, ORL, ATL, Miami, Milwaukee.
Unless Boston really has a nice run they're in danger I think. One thing is for sure, we MUST finish a few games above .500.

Yeah it's crazy cuz we have a TOUGH schedule, but I feel this team has always had the ABILITY to beat good teams if they have their defensive hats on. Right now they do. If they had this kind of energy against the Bulls we would've pulled that one out and the same with the Celtics game.
