76ers Clinch Atlantic Division Title

Philadelphia Finishes Season with 56-26 Record

Team Earns Top Seed in Eastern Conference Playoffs

The Philadelphia 76ers have clinched the Atlantic Division title after finishing the regular season with a 56-26 record. The team's success was largely due to the strong play of Allen Iverson, who averaged 31.1 points per game and was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player. The 76ers also benefited from the contributions of Dikembe Mutombo, who provided a strong presence in the paint, and Eric Snow, who was a steady force at point guard.

The 76ers' division title is their first since 1983, and it gives them the top seed in the Eastern Conference playoffs. They will face the eighth-seeded New Jersey Nets in the first round.
