Alright, so the other day, I was trying to figure out who’s got the advantage between the Suns and the Pelicans. You know, it’s getting down to the wire, and every game counts. These two teams are neck and neck, and I really needed to know who had the tiebreaker.
First, I hit up the usual spots to check the standings. The Suns were just one game behind the Pelicans, with only three games left for them. They had a tough schedule ahead, playing against the Clippers, the Kings, and the Timberwolves. All away games, too! But here’s the kicker: I saw that the Suns actually held the tiebreaker over the Pelicans for the season.
But then, I started thinking, what if other teams end up with the same record? So, I dug a little deeper. It turns out, the NBA has this whole system for tiebreakers when three or more teams are tied. It gets pretty complicated with head-to-head records and division standings.
- Checked the standings – Found the Suns one game back with three to go.
- Noticed the tiebreaker – The Suns have it over the Pelicans.
- Considered multi-team ties – Looked into the rules for that mess.
So, basically, I spent a good chunk of time figuring this out. In the end, I got my answer. The Suns have the tiebreaker over the Pelicans, which is huge for them. But if other teams get involved, it’s a whole different ball game.
Anyways, that’s how I sorted out the tiebreaker situation between the Suns and the Pelicans. It was a bit of a headache, but I got there!
