How the NBA Playoffs Work
The National Basketball Association (NBA) postseason is a elimination tournament annually held after the 82-game regular season to determine the league’s champion. The playoffs follow a tournament format. Each team plays an opponent in a best-of-seven series with the first team to win four games advancing into the next round, while the other team is eliminated from the playoffs. The final round, whose name varies according to the contesting teams (for example, the NBA Finals), features two prepared teams playing best-of-seven games.
The NBA playoffs are structured so that eight teams from each of the league’s two conferences qualify for the postseason. This qualifying process is intended to force highly competitive play during the regular season and reward teams that perform well over the course of those 82 games. When the regular season ends, 16 teams are selected to participate in the NBA playoffs. These teams are seeded one through 16, based on their records in the regular season. The format used means that not all conference champions are guaranteed a place in the playoff field; if one or more non-conference leaders have a superior record than a conference leader then they will take one or more playoff spots meant for conference leaders. After all 16 spots are filled, regardless of conference affiliation, a playoff schedule is typically set which determines which teams will compete against each other in each series.
