NBA Update

As the seemingly endless NBA season approaches its final month, four strong contenders for the title are in a close race for the best record in the league.

The home advantage in the playoffs goes to the team with the better record.

In the NBA East, the Indiana Pacers are (46-15) while the two time defending champion Miami Heat are two games behind with a (43-16) record.

In the NBA West, the Oklahoma City Thunder lead with a (46-16) record while last year’s Western Conference winner, the San Antonio Spurs are a half game back with a (45-16) record.

Last year, the Heat really took advantage of having the best record, by first winning the Eastern Conference title and then the NBA crown in home, decisive, 7th games.

Last year Miami won the Eastern final vs Indiana and then the NBA title against San Antonio.
