Re: Pistons' magic number for HCA in the Finals

It looks like the one potential stumble remaining is if they go 1-2 while the Lakers go 2-0 (they have only two games left), which would result in a tie with the Lakers, and I believe LA would have the tiebreaker for HCA.
We may be jumping ahead of ourselves here, but hey who knows, I think a LA/Detroit Finals would be great and the ratings would be very good. Anyway, what is the tie breaker formula if the season series is split?

Is it, conf record, then division record?

If so, as of right now, LA and Det have a 35-15 conf record, Det has a 105 div record with one (Cavs) div game remaining, LA is 11-4 within their div with one (Kings) div game remaining.
