From Jason Fleming of HOOPSWORLD:
Back in December the East held a moderate 11-game lead in interconference games, but in light of the L.A. Lakers winning this past week in Boston and Cleveland it’s worth an update.
Just as before, the Eastern Conference has seven teams over .500 (Boston, Cleveland, Orlando, Atlanta, Detroit, Miami, and Philadelphia) while the Western Conference has nine (Lakers, San Antonio, Denver, New Orleans, Portland, Houston, Dallas, Phoenix, Utah). The East has their top three teams over a winning percentage of .760, then a gap to #4 at .580. The West has the Lakers at .820, then the next five teams all between .600 and .694.
The East has just one team under .358 while the West has six teams under that percentage.
Fleming goes on to break down each NBA team’s interconference record.
