do you have a website where you got this?
i got this from nba.com:
The top four seeds will be the three division winners plus the team with the next best record. Those four will be ordered by record (and tiebreakers if needed), so it's possible that two teams in the same division could hold the top two spots, with the other two division winners at Nos. 3 and 4.
Tiebreakers
(1) Head-to-head
(2) Division record (if the teams are in the same division)
(3) Conference record
(4) Record vs. Playoff teams, own conference
(5) Record vs. Playoff teams, other conference
(6) Net points, all games
i dont see where a the division winner would take precedent in a situation where two teams have equal records. if portland and sa have identical records then the first tiebreaker would be head to head which portland wins.

Its not that complicated at this point. Here's another article explaining that the SW division champion will get the #3 seed if they tie record wise with Portland:
