The NBA’s MVP race is over. So is the battle for every other individual regular-season trophy.
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. —

The Associated Press obtained a copy of the memo.
Statistical championships, such as the scoring, rebounding, assist and steal titles, are technically up for grabs through the end of the seeding games in mid-August. The league announced that portion of the plan when the schedules for the eight seeding games were released last month.
