The document is a map of NBA teams. There are two conferences named the Western Conference and the Eastern Conference. There are three divisions in each conference: the Central, the Atlantic and the Southeast divisions in the East and the Pacific, the Southwest and the Northwest divisions in the West. There are five teams for each division, fifteen teams for each conference and thirty teams in total. The Toronto Raptors are in Canada and the Golden State Warriors are in San Francisco. THE REGULAR SEASON AND THE PLAYOFFSA NBA season is divided into the regular season and the Playoffs. During the regular season the thirty teams normally play eighty-two games and at the end of regular season the eight best teams of each conference can play the Playoffs. In 2020, the teams only played around seventy-three games because of the Covid Crisis. Eight teams play in each conference during the NBA Playoffs, so sixteen teams in total. During the first round, the first plays against the 8th team; the second plays against the 7th team; the 3rd plays against the 6th team and the 4th plays against the 5th team. The champion of the Eastern Conference plays against the champion of the Western Conference during the NBA Finals. Teams must win four games to continue in the playoffs and win the championship. If there is a tie, it can go on to seven games. In the 2020 NBA Finals, the Los Angeles Lakers played against the Miami Heat and the Los Angeles Lakers won the championship.
