The Hornets, 76ers, Lakers, Wizards and Raptors all clinched playoff berths on Friday night.

New Orleans topped New York, Philadelphia downed Atlanta, Los Angeles defeated Dallas, Washington thumped Miami and Toronto got in despite a loss to Charlotte.

There is just one spot remaining in the Eastern Conference, with Atlanta holding a three game lead over Indiana with six games left to play.

The Hornets and Lakers were the first and only teams to clinch in the West thus far.
