How NBA Territory Battles Work
All 30 NBA teams begin with territory determined by a Voronoi diagram from their arena location — every point on the map belongs to whichever team is closest. Win a game, claim your opponent’s entire empire. Lose to the tanking Pistons on a Tuesday? Watch your territory disappear faster than a blown 3-1 lead. With 82 games per team, the map changes almost daily, creating wild swings that mirror the NBA’s chaos perfectly.
Territory Rules
Teams start with territory nearest their arena (Voronoi boundaries)
Winners take all of the loser’s current territory
Losers lose all territory regardless of how much they had
Territory accumulates throughout the 82-game season
The map resets each season on opening night
