The National Basketball Association (NBA) playoffs are a best-of-seven elimination tournament held at the end of the NBA’s regular season to determine the league’s champion for that season. The playoffs were first instituted in 1947.
The number of games in the NBA playoffs has varied throughout the years. In 1947, the first year of the NBA playoffs, there were three rounds of best-of-three series. The first round was a best-of-three series between the three divisional champions, with the winner of each series advancing to the next round. The second round was a best-of-three series between the two remaining teams, with the winner of that series advance to the NBA Finals. In 1948, 1949, and 1950, the first round remained a best-of-three series between the three divisional champions, but now all four teams advanced to
the second round regardless of whether they won or lost their first playoff series. The second round was expanded to a best-of-seven format in 1951.
The NBA playoffs have been played under a best-of-seven format since 1951. The number of teams in the playoffs has increased over time; currently, 16 teams make the playoffs each year.

In the first round of the playoffs, the team with the better record (seeds 1-8) plays the team with the worse record (seeds 8-1). The teams seeded 1-4 in each conference play the teams seeded 4-1 in their conference. In the second round, also known as the conference semifinals, seeds 1-4 from each conference face whoever they didn’t play in the first round. The winners of those series advance to the conference finals.
The winners of each conference final advance to the NBA Finals to face each other.

In 1950, the NBA added teams from Indianapolis (now Minnesota), Rochester (now Milwaukee), and Fort Wayne (now Detroit), increasing the number of teams to eleven. At that time, the NBA Finals was a best-of-five playoff between the division winners, with a divisional round being added in 1952 and 1953. From 1949 to 1966, when divisions were introduced, only one team per division qualified for the playoffs. In 1967, four teams from each division qualified for the playoffs, giving rise to the current system in which four rounds of best-of-seven playoffs are played before the Finals.
