Even though only one game was played yesterday, it matters! So let’s take a look, with a reminder of how the playoffs work as well:

The playoffs will begin the day after the regular season ends. The format is the same as in past years; The top seed will play seed #4, and #2 and #3 will face off, all in best-of-three series. The division championship and finals series will also be the best of three.
