There was plenty of talk about tiebreakers Wednesday night at the Bradley Center. Here is a look at the way the NBA breaks ties:
-
Two-Team Tiebreaker:
- 1. Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division)
- 2. Better record in head-to-head games
- 3. Higher winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division)
- 4. Higher winning percentage in conference games
- 5. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference
- 6. Higher winning percentage against playoff teams in opposite conference
- 7. Higher point differential between points scored and points allowed
-
Three-Team Tiebreaker:
- 1. Division winner (this criterion is applied regardless of whether the tied teams are in the same division)
- 2. Best head-to-head winning percentage among all teams tied
- 3. Highest winning percentage within division (if teams are in the same division)
- 4. Highest winning percentage in conference games
- 5. Highest winning percentage against playoff teams in own conference
- 6. Highest point differential between points scored and points allowed
