Not since 1980 have two teams tied for a division lead met in the final series.

But they have won their three games since and are tied for the division lead.

By mid July, the team found themselves only 10 games out of the division lead.

Each is coming off a road victory and has a large division lead.

They extended their division lead on Philadelphia to 9 points.

As it was, the Yankees never got closer than three and a half games to the division lead.

The 76ers, who would have taken over the division lead with a victory, never were in contention.

By this time next week, they could even be tied for the division lead without having to play another game.

They also fell seven games from the division lead, but that is hardly a concern for them at the moment.

The two teams came into the game tied for the division lead.
