Regular season ends in April with many awards, such as Coach of the year and the Most valuable Player (MVP), being given out.The playoffs begin late April, where 8 teams from each conference take part. Each team plays against a rival in a best of seven games series. This continues till two teams are left in the pool, which play the NBA Final Playoffs.
