The NBA playoffs feature a series of elimination games where the top teams from the Eastern and Western conferences compete to win the championship. The format has changed over time, but generally involves a best-of-seven series in each round, with the winner advancing to the next round until the championship is won.
The order in which teams compete is determined by their regular season record, with the top team from each conference playing the lowest-seeded team. Each round is a best-of-seven series, meaning the first team to win four games advances. Ultimately, the teams will play their respective conference semifinals, then finals and the winners of the Western and Eastern conferences will face off in NBA finals to determine the overall champion.
