#### Playoffs

In the playoffs, teams play against each other which must win three games to win the series. Thus, if one team win three games before all five games have been played, the games that remain are omitted. The team that finished in the higher Top 16 place will be played the first, the second and the fifth (if it is necessary) game of the series at home.
Game 1 was played on 12 April, while Game 2 was played on 14 April. Game 3 was played on 19 April 2016. This playoff series was a rematch of last season's Final Four match-up, where Fenerbahçe would officially be knocked out of championship contention that season.
