Northwest Division teams' locations

TheNorthwest Division is one of the three divisions in theWestern Conference of theNational Basketball Association (NBA). The division consists of five teams: theDenver Nuggets, theMinnesota Timberwolves, theOklahoma City Thunder, thePortland Trail Blazers and theUtah Jazz. The Northwest Division is by far the most geographically expansive of the six divisions, and is geographically similar to theNorthwest Division in theNational Hockey League which predated the NBA's by six years before it was dissolved in2013.

The division was created at the start of the2004–05 season, when the league expanded from 29 to 30 teams with the addition of theCharlotte Bobcats. In doing so, the league realigned itself from two divisions in each conference to three divisions in each conference. The Northwest Division began with five inaugural members: the Nuggets, the Timberwolves, the Trail Blazers, the SuperSonics and the Jazz.[1][2] The Trail Blazers and SuperSonics joined from the Pacific Division, while the Nuggets, the Timberwolves and Jazz joined from the now-defunctMidwest Division. The SuperSonics moved to Oklahoma City prior to the2008–09 season and became the Thunder, but remained in the Northwest Division. Other than this franchise re-location, the division's membership has remained unchanged since its creation.

The most recent division champions are the Oklahoma City Thunder, having won an eighth division championship in the2024–25 NBA season. The SuperSonics-Thunder franchise has won the most Northwest Division titles with eight, while the Nuggets have won six, the Jazz have won five, the Trail Blazers have won two, and the Timberwolves have never won the Northwest Division title. In the2009–10 season, all four teams that qualified for the playoffs each had more than 50 wins, and in 2018–19 all four teams that qualified for the playoffs had at least 49 wins.

Since the2021–22 season, the Northwest Division champion has received theSam Jones Trophy, named after Hall of FamerSam Jones, who notably spent his career playing for theBoston Celtics and did not play for a team currently in the division, though he was assistant coach for the Jazz during their first NBA season in1974–75 when they were based in New Orleans.[3]

Sam Jones Trophy

[edit]

Beginning with the2021–22 season, the Northwest Division champion has received theSam Jones Trophy. As with the other division championship trophies, it is named after one of the African American pioneers from NBA history. During his playing career from 1957 to 1969,Sam Jones was an integral part of aBoston Celtics dynasty that won 10 NBA championships during that span. The Jones Trophy consists of a 200-millimetre (7.9 in) crystal ball.[4]
