Yes, they all would except finals. That game is not counted
Prize money on the line.
I’d guess that next year they will make a few adjustments, like getting in or advancing in IST gets you playoff tiebreaker status or something,
I agree adjustments will need to be made, if you play extra games they have to have more value than money. Let's say we finish 50-33 yet Cleveland finishes 50-32, should we lose a playoff seeding or even worse, get bumped to the play-in because we had to play an elite team an extra game?

I think you missed my meaning. Even teams that make IST, they will all still only play 82 games. However, the 2 teams that are in IST finals will end up playing 83 games.
My understanding is that the finals game will not count as a regular season record game.
I could be off on the above.
It's still 82 games (83 for two teams). But your IST record determines who you play for a couple of those games.
Imagine being the Bucks, and dropping a spot in the standings because you had to play New York one extra time?

Ok. In Season Tournament is a success. I actually care about tonight’s game slightly more than I would otherwise.

Still remember the days I had to argue with guys who wanted to trade him for a second rounder. Good times. 
Hart is a heck of a backup.
I am liking what I am seeing. Randle is putting in work in a must win game. This is how you get my attention.
Knicks packing the middle but leaving corners wide open. Difference so far.

It was 2 seconds! We call it The Obi.

If Julius shoots 100% for the rest of the season the sky’s the limit.
