The NBA has seen plenty of surprises in another action-full regular season, but there are a few teams that have left their mark in one way or another. On the verge of completing an arduous run of 82 games over the course of a six-month campaign, ClutchPoints is proud to bring you the end-of-season awards, team edition, part two.

The Dumpster Fire award: Los Angeles Lakers

Despite lacking hind sight, I've never been more glad to wait another day to write a column.

The Lakers' 2018-19 campaign has been a complete dumpster fire of a season, from the moment the front office failed to go hard for top-tier free agents like Paul George and Kawhi Leonard to the subpar supporting cast they surrounded LeBron James with after he signed a four-year, $154 million deal with the team.

While the team dealt with a slew of injuries throughout the year, their royal failure of reaching the playoffs was much more systemic than organic, as Magic Johnson's sudden resignation at the bowels of the Staples Center proved on Tuesday night.

His exit was the final container of kerosene kicked into a flaming inferno of bad news and underachievement, for a team that was hoping to end a six-year playoff drought.

The Look At Me Now award: Milwaukee Bucks

The Bucks were the one girl that had model-like potential, but failed to fully tap into the potential of her full beauty. Enter make-up extraordinaire Mike Budenholzer, who took the reins as the head coach of this team and made the team bloom into an Eastern Conference superpower.

Milwaukee has won an NBA-best 60 games heading into its season finale against the Oklahoma City Thunder and will boast the best record in the league once it's all said and done.

The Bucks also boast one of the frontrunners for the Most Valuable Player award in Giannis Antetokounmpo, who has elevated his game yet once again, now a terror to be reckoned with for the entire conference and beyond.

Milwaukee was an easy first-round out for the Boston Celtics last postseason, but are now entering the playoffs as one of the favorites to make the NBA Finals.

What a difference a year can make.

The Heavy Artillery award: New York Knicks

There isn't a heavier piece of terrestrial artillery than a tank, and no one would know that better than the Knicks, who have tanked their way to a league-worst record of 17-64 this season, locking up one of the three spots that will earn a 14% chance to garner the top overall pick in this year's NBA Draft Lottery.

Besides that, New York hasn't had much to write about, slow to develop talent with a roster devoid of clear on-court leadership, instead boasting two max free agent slots for next season, which could be a hit-or-miss predicament.

The Knicks traded their best player in Kristaps Porzingis, banking on salary relief and the potential to lock down two stars like Kevin Durant and Kyrie Irving in free agency.

If proven able to pull it off, the real heavy artillery will arrive in The Big Apple sooner than later, with two top-of-the-line scorers with ample playoff experience to accelerate this rebuilding process.

The Perennial Winner award: San Antonio Spurs

No team has seen more well-sustained success than the Spurs have over the course of the last two decades, as San Antonio now heads to a 22nd consecutive postseason in 23 years since the legendary Gregg Popovich took the helm.

Pop was first hired by the organization in 1994 as a front office executive and fired coach Bob Hill in 1996 after a 3-15 start to the season, naming himself as coach of the organization. He missed the playoffs his first year in command, after being marred with injuries to David Robinson, Sean Elliott and Chuck Person, but winning only 20 games that season brought them a talisman in the 1997 NBA Draft by the name of Tim Duncan — one that would become the icon of the organization.

Ever since 1997, the Spurs have been a fixture in the playoffs and symbol of all-around franchise excellence throughout.

Popovich managed to coach this team into the seventh seed last season, even after missing their best player, Kawhi Leonard, for 73 out of 82 regular season games. This time around, Pop survived a year-long ACL injury to his would-be starting point guard, along with the challenge of incorporating a new star player in DeMar DeRozan.

This streak is one that keeps on giving.

Stay tuned for the final part of The ClutchPoints Team Awards on Thursday.
