Question: how many games are there in nba playoffs?
Answer: In each round, the team with the better regular-season record is rewarded with home-court advantage. A playoff series follows a 2-2-1-1-1 home/away format. This means that, of the seven games in a series, the team with the better seed plays games 1, 2, 5 and 7 at home. When do the NBA playoffs start?
