  8. ↑ In this season, each division winner was automatically seeded no worse than 4th place. The Jazz were the Northwest Division winner (51–31), but had a worse record than the Spurs (58–24) who were seeded 3rd and the Jazz was seeded 4th. In the first round, the 5th seed Rockets (52–30) had a better record than the 4th seed Jazz, so the Rockets were awarded home-court advantage even with a lower seed.
  9. ↑ In this season, each division winner was automatically seeded no worse than 4th place. The Jazz were the Northwest division winner (54–28), with a worse record than 3rd place team Spurs (56–26). While the Rockets were 55–27, tied with the Suns who were also 55–27 (neither of the two teams were a division winner), so even though the Jazz were awarded 4th place, in the first round faced the Rockets (Rockets higher than Suns due to higher records in versus with rest of Western Conference teams) with no home court advantage.
