NBA structure explained to an European

235 views

As an European just approaching the NBA, I keep struggling to understand how the conference’s and divisions work, I’ve seen posts here from 2016 but I Know some things changed since then.

I thought I understood but now I see the Chicago Bulls played the Golden State Warriors, the only game between two conferences, and it’s not playoffs… What did I miss?

There are 2 conferences, and each conference has 3 divisions of 5 teams (30 teams total). Teams play every other NBA team during the season, playing teams from the other conference twice (one home, one road game), playing same conference teams in other divisions 3 or 4 times, and playing their own division 4 times each.
