Consisting of 16 teams in two conferences, the playoffs involved about two months of play. The playoffs were conducted in seven-game series, with the team with the better record holding home court advantage. The Detroit Pistons won the 2004 NBA Playoffs by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers four games to one in the NBA Finals. The Minnesota Timberwolves, after missing the playoffs their first seven seasons and losing in the first round the next seven years, won their first two playoff series in 2004 before falling to the Lakers in the Western Conference finals.
