NBA Playoff Tiebreaker Rules on Three-Way Ties

There have been a lot of suggestions for improving the NBA playoffs, many of which involve having more Western teams in the field of 16 than just the 8 they are allotted each season.

To wit, the Dallas Mavericks are 44-31 so far this season. That's good enough for 3rd in the East, but can't even crack the top 8 in the West.

The Minnesota Timberwolves are 36-37, which is good enough for 7th in the East but only 10th in the West.

Play-in tourney

One suggestion for improvement has been to have a "play in" tournament for the West's last two seeds.

Thanks to the schedule and the season results so far, those folks are getting their wish. The Phoenix Suns, Memphis Grizzlies and Dallas Mavericks all have 44 wins, prompting a shuffle of the 7th-8th-9th positions on a daily basis. All three teams are already in the "play in" tournament.

Making matters even tougher, the Suns, Mavericks and Grizzlies all play each other on the final three nights of the season. The Suns play the Mavericks in Dallas, then the Grizzlies at home before finishing on the road at the Sacramento Kings. The Grizzlies and Mavericks finish the season facing each other on the final night.

The possibility definitely exists for a tiebreaker to declare the final playoff spot or two.

Two-way tiebreaker

Da Rules, per nba,com

Two Teams Tied

(1) Better winning percentage in games against each other

(2) Better winning percentage against teams in own division (only if tied teams are in same division).

(3) Better winning percentage against teams in own conference.

(4) Better winning percentage against teams eligible for playoffs in own conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position).

(5) Better winning percentage against teams eligible for playoffs in opposite conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position).

(6) Better net result of total points scored less total points allowed against all opponents ("point differential").

The Suns currently beat out Dallas, but lose to Memphis.

The Suns are 1-1 against Dallas but have a slightly better conference schedule, while they are 0-3 against Memphis.

Three-way tiebreaker

What if all three teams finish with the same record? Who gets the final two playoff spots?

Da Rules, per NBA.com

More Than Two Teams Tied

(1) Better winning percentage in all games among the tied teams.

(2) Better winning percentage against teams in own division (only if all tied teams are in the same division).

(3) Better winning percentage against teams in own conference.

(4) Better winning percentage against teams eligible for playoffs in own conference (including teams that finished the regular season tied for a playoff position).

(5) Better net result of total points scored less total points allowed against all opponents ("point differential").

At the moment, the Phoenix Suns lose any tiebreaker that involves Memphis - either a two-way tie, or a three-way tie - because the Suns are 0-3 against Memphis this season.

Doesn't matter till game 82

We will all pull our hair out over the next two weeks, but the high likelihood is that the season won't be decided until the last game or two.

When the three teams play each other, the tie-break scenarios will likely change once again (though the Suns will almost certainly never win a tiebreak over Memphis).

Is there a draw in basketball, extra and regular time

In which case can there be a draw in basketball? If the opposing teams on the court are equally strong. Of course, if there is a game of the undisputed champion of recent years, the Golden State Warriors, with one of the outsiders of recent years, the New York Knicks, in the NBA championship, one should not expect a draw in principle. Another thing is the NBA final series, where the Golden State will meet on the court with the Cleveland Cavaliers. Here, a draw result will not surprise anyone.

In addition, the possibility of a draw may be affected by whether the match is played in a championship or a tournament. A lot of this is determined by statistics. For example, if it is not the highest scoring European championship, the chance of a draw will be higher than in games where teams play high score games. There are other factors that reduce the possibility of a draw in basketball:

  • Debut matches in tournaments and championships. At the very beginning of the competition, all teams are fresh and eager to start with a victory. Draws and compromises are unacceptable here.
  • Principled derby. Here the teams play until the winner is revealed.

Average duration of a basketball game

In Europe, a basketball match lasts an average of 1.5-2 hours, if regular time is meant. In the NBA, regulation time is longer due to longer quarters. However, if we are talking about overtime, then the duration of the matches will be more difficult to determine. The appointment of additional periods of 5 minutes will continue until the victory of one of the teams. So, in basketball, overtime is a frequent phenomenon. Two overtimes is rare, but three or more is almost a sensation. Therefore, the total duration of a match may be extended by approximately 10 minutes per overtime.

In what case is such an outcome of the match possible? If, when it ends, the score will be a draw again, you will have to appoint another five-minute period. And so it will continue until the victory of one of the teams.

Before the next extra period, a break of 2 minutes is provided. In addition, each overtime is preceded by a jump ball in the center circle.

How long is regular time/time-outs/breaks

Basketball has strict regulation of regular time and breaks, however there are some differences between individual tournaments and competitions. In the NBA, the game is divided into 4 main halves, they are also called quarters of 12 minutes. If this is a combined VTB league, Euroleague and most other tournaments, then the duration of one quarter can be 10 minutes. An important point, I mean the pure time of the match! At time-outs when fouls are called, free kicks are taken and the ball is thrown in, the stopwatch is stopped. Thus, the total duration of the match exceeds the regulated time of the game twice. The quarters are divided into several small and one big break. A break of 15 minutes starts immediately after the end of the second quarter. The duration of the rest of the breaks is 2 minutes.

The number and duration of time-outs is also determined by the regulations of a particular tournament. In the NBA, there can only be 14 timeouts per 2 teams, lasting 75 seconds. New rules in the NBA were introduced in the 2017-2018 season. There used to be more timeouts and they were longer. In FIBA ​​tournaments, the duration of time-outs is 60 seconds. Each team can take such a minute in regular time and one more in a separate overtime.
