Grid
The teams in bold are in the next round. The numbers to the left of each team show the seeding number of the team in their conference, and the numbers to the right show the number of team games won in this round. Division champions are marked with an asterisk. The advantage of the home site in the NBA finals does not belong to the team above the seeded one, but to the team with the best wins / losses in the regular season (for example, the 4-seeded team in the Western Conference may have a better win / lose rate in the season than the 3-seeded team in the Eastern Conference , and therefore will have the advantage of a home court if they converge in the final), teams with an advantage of a home court are shown in italics.
