List of NBA playoff series


This is a complete listing of National Basketball Association playoff series, grouped by franchise. Series featuring relocated and renamed teams are kept with their ultimate relocation franchises. Bolded years indicate wins. Years in italics indicate series in progress. Tables are sorted first by the number of series, then the number of wins, and then by year of first occurrence. This also does not list any of the play-in games, as while they are postseason games, the league considers them different from the main tournament.
