If their record doesn't matter why did they play the starters? The Cavs sat all their starters even though a win would have tied Bostons all time home game win record.
Because Kobe said that they would have liked to have the best record in the NBA, just so they could say that they had it. For bragging rights, of course. But he also said that it doesn't matter when it comes down to their ability to win games (and to be more specific: win games against the Cavs, as they have each matchup this season).
