The documented placement of teams in the National Basketball Association for the 2015-2016 season provides a definitive record of team performance. This record encompasses each team’s win-loss record, division ranking, and conference placement at the conclusion of the regular season. An example is the Golden State Warriors, who finished first in the Western Conference with a record of 73 wins and 9 losses.
These final results are important for several reasons. They determine playoff seeding, influencing a team’s path through the postseason tournament. Stronger regular season performance offers advantages such as home-court advantage in playoff series. Furthermore, these records provide historical context, allowing for comparison of team performance across different seasons and eras and showcasing relative strengths within a particular year.
