NBA 2017-2018: END

The 2017-2018 NBA regular season is over, so here are the 16-game splits for games 65-80, plus the amount of wins for games 81-82 (asterisks placed on teams that would make the postseason if only six teams made it per conference for this split only):

Each #NBA team’s record from games 65-80, plus 81-82 (5th 16-game split, +last 2 games).

As I did for the START, OLD YEAR, ALL-STAR BREAK/MIDSEASON, and POST-TRADE DEADLINE reviews, I will run through each team’s offensive and defensive rankings (efficiency); the time period here will be from March 10 through April 11, the final day of the regular season. I’ll add in the most used lineup during that timespan, with net efficiency and minutes played.

Most used lineups for this split that were also the team’s most used lineup for the entire season are highlighted.

Here are the offensive, defensive, and net efficiency rankings for the entire 2017-2018 regular season all in one place:
