Midwest Division (NBA)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Midwest Division was a division in the Western Conference of the NBA. The division was created at the start of the 1970-1971 Season. Upon the arrival of the expansion Charlotte Bobcats and the NBA's subsequent realignment in the 2004-05 season, the division was essentially split into what's now the Northwest Division and Southwest Division. The last Midwest Division champion was the Minnesota Timberwolves in the 2003-04 season.
