Question
Hi,

Is there any possibility that a NBA playoff match can end with same points for both teams, even after overtime?
Has anybody to win at any time even playing for endless extra-times or free shots? can NEVER a playoff match end as a draw/tie?

Thanks

Answer
Hi Stefano,

To my knowledge there cannot be a draw in a NBA basketball game. I would bet the house there could not be a draw in a playoff game. Here is a link to the NBA rules and regulations.
