LeBron James led the LA Lakers to a strong game two win against the Houston Rockets. The Lakers controlled most of the game, but the Rockets did give them a scare towards the end of the game. Despite that, the Lakers held on for an 8-point win [https://in.global.nba.com/boxscore/#!/0041900222]. Even though Anthony Davis [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/anthony-davis/] led LA in scoring, it was LeBron who was making the big plays for his team. Like we have seen with this team all year, everyone was feeding off LeBron’s production. He almost got a triple-double but fell one assist short. Bron came up clutch on defense as well, getting 4 steals and 2 blocks. This win meant that LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/lebron-james/] officially is the most winningest player in NBA Playoffs history. Another massive legacy-defining achievement has been accomplished by James, who joins Derek Fisher at the top of the list with 161 playoff wins [https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/most-playoffs-wins-player]. LEBRON JAMES IN THE 2020 POST-SEASON LeBron James [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/lebron-rockets-1.jpg] LeBron James is on the quest for his fourth championship in year 17. While he should have had a lot more championships in his career, it is never too late to try and fulfill the chips you needed. LeBron doesn’t just want the championship this year, but he needs it. The league saw Golden State Warriors lose their two best players to injury, and even the East didn’t see the Brooklyn Nets [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/brooklyn-nets/] take the floor with their superstar duo. This is the best chance he has, as the wear and tear of 17-years of NBA basketball are showing in his game. Anthony Davis has been outscoring him but not because LeBron is passive. It’s because LeBron is at the age he needs to start deferring. Tying Derek Fisher on the playoffs wins category is quite a momentous occasion. The fact he did it in fewer games played than Fisher is even more impressive. Derek Fisher’s championship resume is unmatched by even the greatest players. LeBron James (246) is currently third in all-time games played in the Playoffs. He is trailing Tim Duncan (251) and Derek Fisher (259). However, he can surpass Duncan if his team makes it to the Conference Finals. For LeBron to cross Fisher in this post-season, a series with game 7 could help that case. 

LeBron James is one of the greatest playoff performers of all time. He has proof
for that statement as he breaks another NBA Playoff record.

The 2020 <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA</a> Playoffs will take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at the Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida. Due to the severity of the coronavirus pandemic, there will be no fans in attendance for the entire playoff series.

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-344955" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200817235157/EYxJVM-XgAMyNUR-1.jpg" alt="" width="1200" height="675" />

However, there will be no changes made to the tournament structure. This year?s postseason format is the same as that of the 2019 Playoffs or any other year since the tournament?s inception. The significant difference is that there will be no fans and every team will play in a neutral venue.
<h2>The teams that have qualified for the 2020 NBA Playoffs</h2>
Qualifying for the postseason is a difficult task. 30 teams from both conferences play out 82 games in a stretch during the regular season. But this year has been a unique experience. No team got to complete their original schedule as the pandemic caused chaos and urged the NBA to take a four and a half month hiatus.

However, the league managed to organize a <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/nba/orlando-bubble/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">massive bubble</a>, in which each invited team played eight seeding games to determine the playoff table. With all regular-season games done and dusted, eight best teams from each conference have made their entry into the 2020 NBA playoff bracket.

<h2>2020 NBA Playoffs Schedule and how it works</h2>
This year?s playoff structure is no different than any other year. Barring the fact that the players will be competing for the championship inside a closed bubble, everything else is the same. The teams will be following the same format, playing out a best-of-seven series to determine the winner of each playoff round.

There are a few teams in contention for lifting the championship this year. But one thing is for certain. This is a game that we?ve never before experienced. We really can't predict the outcome this year. The bubble, the lack of fans, and the number of restrictions in place. Here is a photograph of the playoff bracket:

<img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-344950" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200817234907/nba-playoffs-bracket-081420-getty-ftr_jtgjiisj0a0r1tva1x2z5pslg.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

The 2020 NBA Playoffs schedule is always a jam-packed one. This year is no different as well. The schedule is commencing on August 17 and we can expect to see the conference finals kicking off by September 15. The tentative date for the 2020 NBA Finals is September 30 and is expected to stretch no longer than October 13.

Where to watch the 2020 NBA Playoffs?

TV: ESPN, TNT, ABC, <a href="https://watch.nba.com/channel/nbatvlive?ls=leaguepass:nbacom:watch:nbatv:rd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA TV</a>

Stream: Watch ESPN, Watch TNT, <a href="https://watch.nba.com/packages?ls=leaguepass:nbacom:packages:rd" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">NBA League Pass</a>

ESPN and TNT dominate the TV broadcast schedules as expected. These two networks enjoy a major share of the first-round and second-round games. But, the TV broadcast doesn?t end with these two networks. ABC also has the right to broadcast a small portion of the first and second-round games.

The conference finals? broadcasting rights are split between ESPN and TNT. The Eastern Conference Finals will exclusively be televised by ESPN, while TNT holds the rights for the Western Conference finals.

ABC Network has once again gained the rights to broadcast the 2020 NBA Finals. Every game during the finals series will be shown exclusively on ABC.
