I hate this phrase. No team "backs in" to the playoffs. Every team that makes the playoffs gets enough points over the 82-game season to get into the playoffs as compared to the other teams.
If you have played all your games and are in a playoff position, and one team needs to win to pass you, and they don't, you did exactly what you needed to do to get in, and they didn't.
It does not matter if that key game was game 3, game 45 or game 82.
Now, you may not be on a hot streak going in, and that may cost you, but you don't "back in".
