One of the changes that will be taking place are that the final schedule did some adjusting. Also,the players will now be getting three days between games in every travel situation. This change will allow players to get an extra day of rest. During this year’s playoffs, the biggest change that will be occurring is that the seeding will be based solely on the record unlike the previous years. Last year when they based it on if you won the division. If you did you would be assured a top four seed. One team that has been doing incredibly well this current season is NBA’s Golden State Warriors. The team’s two sharp shooting guards, or the “Splash Brothers,” have already beat multiple records. One of these records include first teammate duo to drain 600 three. The team record beaters include most threes in one game, longest-ever home court winning streak, and quickest playoff berth ever.

On March 7th, Stephen Curry dropped his 300th three of the year in a win over the Orlando Magic. In doing so Curry became the first player in league lore to achieve this.
