The NBA Playoffs consist of four main rounds:
- First Round
- Conference Semifinals
- Conference Finals
- NBA Finals
Each round is a best-of-seven series, meaning the first team to win four games advances to the next round
. Before the playoffs, there is a Play-In Tournament involving teams ranked 7th to 10th in each conference to determine the final two playoff spots in each conference. However, the Play-In Tournament is not considered an official playoff round
. In summary, there are four rounds in the NBA Playoffs proper, each played in a best-of-seven format.
