1983-84 NBA Season Standings
In one of the most anticipated Finals in NBA history, Larry Bird's Boston Celtics outlasted Magic Johnson's Los Angeles Lakers in seven games, kicking off a decade-defining rivalry. As in 1982-83, the conference order follows winning percentage directly rather than boosting division winners, so Midwest champion Utah Jazz (45-37) ranks third in the West behind Portland (48-34), which won more games but did not win its division.
