What kind of impact do NBA Divisions have on teams' regular season record?

Warriors went 15-1 in the Pacific Division and the Raptors 12-2 in the Atlantic Division.

The Miami Heat played in a competitive division this season, while the Toronto Raptors and Boston Celtics' Atlantic Division included the three worst teams in the Eastern Conference: Knicks, Nets, 76ers. Similarly the Golden State Warriors' Pacific Division featured the L.A. Clippers as the only other winning team.

Divisions still matter in how many times one team faces another during the season. They may influence the final won-loss record, where a couple of games won or lost make the difference in seedings or history books.
