How Many Games are in the NBA Finals?
The best-of-seven NBA Finals is the annual championship series of the National Basketball Association
(NBA). Prior to 1949, the playoffs were instituted a three-stage tournament where the two semifinal winners played each other in the finals. The winning team of the series receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy.
The NBA Finals was initially structured in a 2–2–1–1–1 format (the pattern used in other North American professional sports leagues), meaning that one team would hold home court advantage for games 1, 2, 5, and 7, while the other played at home for games 3, 4, and 6. Since 1985, when the NBA went to a 2–3–2 format (the pattern now used in Major League Baseball’s World Series), the Finals has been held entirely in June.
