NBA playoffs
In the middle, each game has four quarters of 12 minutes each. At the end of game time, teams are decided between themselves based on the score. But, if the score is the same between teams, will there be a tie in the NBA playoffs?
The answer is no.
The NBA playoffs utilize an elimination system, which means that each round of games determines the winner to advance and the loser to be eliminated. This system of play ensures that every game must have a clear winner. If the score is equal at the end of regular time (four periods of play), the game will go into overtime. Overtime is a five-minute period, and if the score is still tied at the end of overtime, the game continues to the next overtime period until a winner is determined.
As a result, there are no ties in the NBA playoffs, ensuring that every game has a clear winner.
