Day 2 of the NBA play-in tournament has delivered its first result of the night.

The Sixers were able to defend home court against the Magic and secure a 109–97 win on Wednesday night, and with it, the No. 7 spot in the conference bracket and a first-round date with the Celtics on the line. The Magic will now face off against the Hornets on Friday for a shot at the No. 8 seed in East.

For the nightcap, the Clippers host the Warriors in a do-or-die battle, with the winner traveling to Phoenix on Friday to take on the Suns for the No. 8 seed in the West.

Just before the end of the first quarter, the broadcast showed Steph Curry walking back to the Warriors locker room and giving basketball fans looking for a show tonight quite a scare. Don’t worry though, he’s back on the bench and says he’s fine.

It’s a great night of basketball and we’re tracking it here all night—come hang!
