With over 30 different teams and 450 world class athletes, the NBA is a tough league. Since the first season after the merger between the NBA and ABA in 1967, there has always been one team at the top. This year that race is tighter than ever. With the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers at the head of each of their conferences, there are a lot of unnoticed conflicts lower in each division. Historically dominated by the Oklahoma City Thunder (OKC for short), this season's Utah Jazz team is poised to take first place in the Northwest Division for the first time since the 2007-08 season after Kevin Durant's departure from OKC to Golden State.
Northwest Division is Utah’s for the Taking
