The NBA Playoffs is an annual tournament that usually begins in mid-April, after the end of the regular season, and finishes in mid-June. The top eight teams from each Conference are involved in a best-of-seven elimination format that carries on through four rounds until two teams are left to challenge for the Championship. Those rounds are the fir...
In 2021, the NBA introduced a new format in which teams ranking from seventh to 10th in the respective Conferences would have a chance to challenge for a Playoff spot.

The NBA Conference semi-finals are the second round. In this round, the winners of the four previous matchups in each Conference face off in another best-of-seven-game series. The rules of home-court advantage still apply.

The NBA finals are the final round of the playoffs and determine the overall winner of the tournament. Just like the previous rounds, this also pits two teams against each other for seven games. Last season, the Golden State Warriors won the NBA finals by defeating the Boston Celtics four games to three. Stephen Curry was named MVP.
As previously mentioned, home-court advantage can be key in each round of the playoffs and applies to each round. It is determined by using each team's ranking or place. For instance, when the second-ranked team plays the seventh seed, the second-ranked team gets the home-court advantage. In each of the seven-game series, one team will be able to p...
