how many timeouts does a team get in the nba
Time-out (sport) In the North American National Basketball Association, the rule on timeouts is more complex. Effective the 2017-18 NBA season, teams are allowed seven timeouts, of 75 seconds in length. There is no limit on substitutions. In overtime periods, each team is allowed two timeouts. A request for a timeout by a player in the game or the head coach shall be granted only when the ball is dead or in control of a player on the team making the request.
NBA playoffs All rounds are best-of-seven series. Series are played in a 2–2–1–1–1 format, meaning the team with home-court advantage hosts games 1, 2, 5, and 7, while their opponent hosts games 3, 4, and 6, with games 5–7 being played if needed. This format has been used since 2014, after NBA team owners unanimously voted to change from a 2–3–2 format on October 23, 2013.[2]
