Introduction
The NBA Finals are the annual championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA). The Eastern and Western conference champions play a best-of-seven game series to determine the league champion. The 2021 NBA Finals will take place in June 2021.
What Happened in 2020?
After the Lakers defeated the Miami Heat in the 2020 NBA Finals, it was widely assumed that the 2021 championship would be a rematch. But with the league’s schedule in flux due to the COVID-19 pandemic, that may not be the case.
The 2021 NBA Finals are tentatively scheduled to begin on July 8 and end no later than July 22. But if the pandemic causes further delays in the start of the season, those dates could be pushed back.
It’s also worth noting that, due to the condensed nature of the 2020-2021 season, there is a possibility that the NBA Finals could be held in August. This would mark the first time in league history that the championship series would be played in that month.
Of course, all of this is subject to change and will depend on how the season unfolds. But one thing is certain: when it comes to the NBA Finals, 2021 will be a year to remember.
The 2021 NBA Finals
The 2021 NBA Finals will be the championship series of the 2020–21 National Basketball Association (NBA) season and the conclusion of the season’s playoffs. The Eastern Conference champion will face the Western Conference champion in a best-of-seven game series.
The NBA Finals were originally scheduled to begin on June 2 and end no later than June 19. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the start of the playoffs was pushed back to July 22, and it is unknown when the Finals will start.
This will be the first time since 1979 that the Finals will not be held in June.
