Contents
The end of the NBA regular season is always a time to reflect on the past six months and gear up for the playoffs. This year, the end of the regular season falls on April 11.
Introduction
The National Basketball Association (NBA) is the premier professional basketball league in the United States and Canada. It is composed of 30 teams (29 in the United States and 1 in Canada). The NBA regular season runs from October to April, with each team playing 82 games. The NBA playoffs begin in April and end in June, with the best-of-seven championship series being held between the winners of the Eastern and Western Conference finals.
The NBA Season
The end of the NBA regular season is upon us. It’s been a long, grueling 82 games and now it’s time for the playoffs. The best teams in the league have fought their way to the top and are ready to battle it out for the championship. But before we get to the playoffs, let’s take a look at the regular season.
The Pre-Season
The NBA pre-season is the period of time before the regular season starts. During this time, teams play several friendly matches against each other to help them prepare for the upcoming season. These games are not as important as regular season or playoff games, and they often do not have the same level of intensity.
The pre-season also gives coaches a chance to evaluate their team’s strengths and weaknesses, and to experiment with different lineups and strategies. It is also an opportunity for new players to join a team and for old players to say goodbye.
The NBA pre-season typically starts in early October and lasts for about two weeks. The regular season usually starts in mid-October and runs until early April.
The Regular Season
The National Basketball Association (NBA) regular season typically runs from October to April of the following year. Each team plays 82 games, 41 at home and 41 on the road. The season is divided into two halves, with each team playing 81 games. The first half of the season is from October to mid-January, while the second half is from mid-January to April. All-Star weekend is held in February, and the playoffs start in late April.
The Playoffs
The NBA regular season is 82 games long, and it usually starts in late October and ends in mid-April. The playoffs typically start around the third week of April, and they can last until early June.
When does the Regular Season End?
The end of the NBA regular season is usually in mid-April, right before the playoffs start. This year, the regular season will end on April 11th. After the regular season ends, the playoffs will start on April 13th.
The NBA Finals
The NBA Finals is the championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The winning team of the series receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983.
The series was initially known as the BAA Finals prior to the 1949–50 season when the Basketball Association of America (BAA) merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA. The competition oversaw further name changes to NBA World Championship Series from 1950 to 1985, as well as a brief stint as the Showdown at Seagrams in 1968. The NBA Finals was often unofficially referred to as the O’Brien Trophy or Oscar Robertson Trophy until 1985. It has commonly been referred to as the championship since 2000, but regardless of name, it has always been considered as one of North America’s four major professional sports leagues’ finals, along with Major League Baseball’s World Series, NHL’s Stanley Cup Finals, and NASCAR’s Daytona 500 being considered by some as a fifth major due to its popularity and status among North American fans.
Conclusion
The NBA regular season typically ends in April, with the playoffs beginning in early May. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020-2021 season is scheduled to end on May 16. The playoffs will begin on May 22 and the NBA Finals are tentatively scheduled for July.
