- The 2002 NBA playoffs were the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association's 2001–02 season. This was the final postseason that held a best-of-5 first-round series; the 2003 NBA playoffs saw those series expand to a best-of-7 format. The tournament concluded with the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers defeating the Eastern Conference champion New Jersey Nets 4 games to 0. Shaquille O'Neal was named NBA Finals MVP for the third straight year. The 2002 playoffs are best remembered for that year's Western Conference Finals between the two-time defending champion Los Angeles Lakers and the Sacramento Kings, which served as the de facto NBA championship, as the Eastern Conference champions, the Nets, were clearly inferior to both teams, and were eventually swept by the Lakers. The matchup between the Lakers and Kings is regarded as one of the most controversial playoff series in NBA history. At the time, there was widespread criticism of the officiating as favoring the Lakers, especially in Game 6. Several years later, disgraced referee Tim Donaghy accused the Game 6 officiating crew of fixing the game, at the behest of the NBA's front office. This year marked the return of playoff success for the Boston Celtics, who had last made the playoffs in 1995, won their last playoff series in 1992 and made their last Eastern Conference Finals appearance in 1988. Though they eventually lost to the Nets 4–2 (preventing a Celtics–Lakers NBA Finals), they did create the biggest 4th quarter playoff comeback in Game 3, winning 94–90 after trailing by as much as 21 prior to the fourth quarter. (This record was later broken by the Los Angeles Clippers, who came back from 24 in the fourth quarter against the Memphis Grizzlies in 2012). The Detroit Pistons won their first playoff series since 1991. They would lose in the Eastern Conference Semifinals to the Celtics in five games. The playoffs also marked the last appearance of the Charlotte Hornets in the playoffs until 2010. The Hornets moved the next year to New Orleans, while an expansion team, formerly the Bobcats, was formed in 2004. The Hornets were renamed the Pelicans in 2013, after which the Bobcats reclaimed the Hornets name in 2014. The Hornets also reclaimed the history and records of the 1988–2002 Charlotte teams. The Charlotte Coliseum played host to its final playoff game on May 12. The playoffs marked the last time NBC and TBS aired NBA games as regular TV partners of the league. The last TBS-aired game under its various contracts was Game 5 of the Lakers-Spurs series, while Game 4 of the NBA Finals marked the last telecast on NBC. TBS and NBC were replaced with ESPN and ABC the following season, since both channels are owned by the Walt Disney Company. TBS has aired some NBA basketball in the ensuing years due to conflicts on sister network TNT. The New York Knicks missed the playoffs for the first time in 15 years, and Miami Heat coach Pat Riley missed the playoffs for the first time in his coaching career. The total number of playoff games was 70, including the NBA Finals. (en)
- Les playoffs NBA 2002 sont les séries éliminatoires (en anglais, playoffs) de la saison NBA 2001-2002. Les Lakers de Los Angeles battent en finale les New Jersey Nets. Ces play-offs sont connus de tous les fans de basket-ball grâce à la série qui opposait les Lakers de Los Angeles aux Kings de Sacramento. Cette série donnera lieu à 7 matchs d'une rare intensité. On retient notamment le game 4 où, après une action mal gérée alors qu'il reste quelques secondes à jouer à Los Angeles et que le score est de 99 à 97 pour les Kings, la balle arrive dans les mains de Robert Horry qui plante alors un 3 point qui crucifie les Kings alors que la sirène retentit. À noter aussi la bagarre entre Christie et Fox d'abord sur le terrain puis dans les coulisses où la bagarre entre les deux fut si agressive que le personnel et les joueurs interviennent. On voit aussi Divac et O'Neal se chauffer entre eux.Quoi qu'il en soit, cette série aura été la finale avant la finale du fait de l'intensité et du suspense proposé. (fr)

- 2002年NBA季后赛在2001-02NBA常规赛结束后进行。本次季后赛是NBA最后一年在首轮采用五场三胜制，下一年将实施七场四胜的新制度。 西部冠军洛杉矶湖人4:0横扫东部冠军新泽西网获得三连冠。本赛季也是老牌劲旅波士顿凯尔特人继1995年后首次进入季后赛以及1987年后首度晋身东部决赛。 西岸決賽由湖人對帝王的第6戰被視為NBA史上最黑暗的一場賽事，球證的判罰明顯偏向湖人，帝王含冤出局。 (zh)
