Teams A and B play in a basketball tournament. The first team to win two games in a row or a total of three games wins the tournament. What is the maximum number of games that can be played in the tournament?

(A) 3
(B) 4
(C) 5
(D) 6
(E) 7
Are You Up For the Challenge: 700 Level Questions

If teams A and B both win 2 games (for a total of 4 games), then it's possible to play 4 games without having a winner.
For example, the four games could look like this:
Team A wins - Team B wins - Team A wins - Team B wins

At that point, the winner will definitely be decided on the 5th game.

Answer: C

Cheers,
Brent

In a best of 5 tournament, the person who wins 3 will win it. Hence, answer is 5.

Hope this is right.
