How the NBA Playoffs Work
The NBA playoffs are a best-of-seven tournament held after the conclusion of the NBA’s regular season to determine the league’s champion. The team that wins four games in the playoffs advances to the next round, while the losing team is eliminated.
In each conference, there are three divisions: the Atlantic, Central, and Southeast. The top three teams in each division automatically make the playoffs, for a total of six teams from each conference. The remaining two playoff spots in each conference are filled by the two teams with the next best overall records, regardless of division.
All told, 16 teams (eight from each conference) make the playoffs. The playoff bracket is reseeded after every round so that the team with the best record always plays the team with the worst record (assuming both teams are still alive).
