Sixteen teams in total make the NBA playoffs, eight teams from both the Eastern and Western Conference. The top six seeds in each conference advance based on the regular season record. The final two seeds in each conference are determined by the NBA Play-In Tournament.

The Cleveland Cavaliers became the first team in the Eastern Conference to advance to the second round of the 2025 NBA playoffs with their 138-83 win over the Miami Heat. The Cavs completed their first-round sweep in dominant fashion, with a 55 point win over the Miami Heat — and yes, you read that correctly.

The Cavs went into the half with a 39-point lead over the Heat, which was a few points shy of the all-time record.
