Two days before the Semifinals began, the Nets and Colonels had a Tiebreaker game played to settle who would be the Eastern Division Champion and play the Memphis Sounds. Julius Erving scored 34 points for the Nets but Artis Gilmore grabbed 33 rebounds for Kentucky. The Colonels won the game 108-99 in Kentucky, thus the Nets were slated to play the Spirits.
