You're right, it is.
For some reason, the first two sites I checked with had it wrong.
EDIT: I see what happened! They have a play-in for the 7th through 10th teams in each conference, but they don't
call that part of the playoffs. The two winners end up being the #7 and #8 seeds in the first round of the actual playoffs.
So by the NBA's definition, there are 16 teams in the playoffs, but a sane person who can count would say 20.
