Hello Erik, On nba.com the east standings is the following : Cleveland1e Toronto2a Miami3se Atlanta4x Boston5x Charlotte6x Indiana7x Detroit8x But with your API, I get that (order by playoff_seed) : 1 Cleveland Cavaliers 2 Toronto Raptors 3 Boston Celtics 4 Atlanta Hawks 5 Miami Heat 6 Charlotte Hornets 7 Indiana Pacers 8 Detroit Pistons Do you have an idea why there is this difference ? Could you correct it if it's not normal ? Best regards, Xavier

Closing Comment

The sort algorithm implemented uses head-2-head record as the first tiebreaker. When multiple teams are tied, though, the first tiebreaker should be whether or not a team is a division leader.
