What exactly is the format of the divisional finals?
The NBA Playoffs Divisional Finals are played in a best-of-seven (7-Game Series), which is a series format. In this format, two teams are required to compete for victory in up to seven games, with the first team to win four games advancing to the next round, the NBA Finals. This format ensures that the games are fair and suspenseful because even if a team falls behind in the first few games, it still has a chance to turn it around by winning consecutive games.
The winner of the Divisional Finals will represent their conference in the NBA Finals, playing the winner of the other conference in the final matchup. The Finals will also be a best-of-seven series, with the eventual winner being crowned the NBA Champion.
Although the terms "NBA Playoff Champions" and "NBA Champions" are often used interchangeably, they actually refer to different concepts; the NBA Playoff Champions usually refer to the team that wins the playoffs, while the NBA Champions refer to the team that wins the NBA Finals, the team that wins the Finals and ultimately wins the entire season. In short, the NBA champion is the ultimate winner of the NBA season, while the NBA playoff champion is the team that makes it to the finals.
Through this system of competition, the NBA ensures that the champions of each season are the most rigorously tested and strongest teams. This not only increases the spectacle of the game, but also enhances the competitive level and global influence of basketball.
