There are 4 rounds to the playoffs: The divisional/first round, the Conference Semi-finals, the Conference Finals, and the NBA Finals.
I guess the word "to" there means
Composing; constituting

With that meaning, does it sound natural ...
It's a little unusual, but perfectly grammatical. "What have you done with your life?" "Why, I have done many things. I have watched a sunset. I have tied my shoes in a car. I have been to Madrid in 1990." — Jason Bassford17 hours ago
Baffling.
I mean the tied my shoes in a car thing. Who does that, lol? I assume it's just awkward because the whole dashboard thing is in the way, isn't it? Or maybe they lift their foot up and do it (somehow I can't imagine anyone not scraping the back end of the shoe against the seat, and ... begriming it). Just get out of the car and do it like a normal person.
But yeah, an absurd statement about this well-trodden subject.
