It varies depending on the standings of the teams that are positioned to get into the playoffs. The top eight teams from each conference get in, but the number of wins that have gotten teams to the playoffs go from as low as around 36 wins to being as high as 72 wins. Any NBA team that wants to qualify for the playoffs has to finish with a better record than the team holding eighth place in their conference.

How many games in playoff of NBA?
Asked by Wiki User
It depends on how each series turns out. There are 4 rounds- 8 series in the first, 4 in the second, 2 in the third, and one for the championship. If each one takes 7 games, there is a total possible of 105 games. However, series usually do not take that long. Each series has a minimum of 4 games played.
So the total number of games ranges from 60-105 games.

Has any NBA team come back to win a series after being down 3 games to none?
Asked by Wiki User
Actually, a handful of teams have done so. The most famous recent example would be the 2004 Boston Red Sox
against the heavily favoured Yankees.
The first team to do so was the 1942 Toronto Maple Leaves. Toronto came back from a 3-0 deficit to defeat the Detroit Red Wings, capturing the Stanley Cup.
The New York Islanders overcame this same deficit in 1975 NHL Quarterfinal Round defeating the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Islanders ultimately came up short losing to the Philadelphia Flyers
in the Semifinal Round. The Islanders are the only team to pull this comeback and not make it to the finals.
The Red Sox,
as already mentioned were the third franchise to overcome the long odds. The first and only team in the MLB History to do so, and the only non-hockey
franchise to do so as well.
The most recent that I am aware of is the Philadelphia Flyers
in 2010. The Flyers
took down the Boston Bruins in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. The Flyers
also ultimately came up short falling to the Chicago Blackhawks
in the Stanley Cup Finals that year.
This feat has never been accomplished yet in the NBA. Hope this helps.
