The Philadelphia 76ers clinched the top seed in the Eastern Conference with a 122-97 win over the Orlando Magic on Friday night. The last time, and only other time, that the Sixers were the East's top seed was in 2001 -- when Allen Iverson was wearing a uniform for the franchise. In other words, it's been a while. But, while the Sixers acknowledged the relatively rare accomplishment, they don't have too much time to celebrate. They're well aware that there's much more work to be done.
