The East is closing the gap.
"The league released a head-spinning statistic on Monday revealing that the Eastern Conference won the season series against the Western Conference (226 wins for the East versus 224 wins for the West) for the first time since the 2008-09 campaign."
Head-spinning? Seriously? The East won the season series against the West by ½ of an eyelash [226-224].
The best team in the East had the same W-L record as the third-best team in the West. [ELEVEN GAMES behind the best in the West.]
Four out of the top five W-L records in the NBA belong to Western Conference teams.
The sixth-best team in the West had the same record as the fifth-best team in the East.
The seventh-best team in the West had the same record as the sixth-best team in the East.
Blah blah blah, blah blah blah, etc.
Yes, the Eastern Conference has indeed "closed the gap," and my head is SPINNING!!!
