The NBA Finals are upon us and everyone is wondering when Game 7 will be. We have the answer for you right here.
When is Game 7 of the NBA Finals?
The NBA Finals is the 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 winners of the Finals are awarded the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983.
The series was originally known as the BAA Finals prior to the 1949–50 season when the Basketball Association of America (BAA) merged with the National Basketball League (NBL) to form the NBA. The competition oversaw further name changes to NBA World Championship Series from 1950 to 1985, as well as a brief stint as the Showdown at Shinnecock Hills in 1986. It was then known as the NBA Finals from 1987 to 1996, followed by a period of uncertainty due to a labor dispute that delayed its start until 1999. The 2000s saw a revival of competitiveness, with renewed rivalries and new heroic performances.
The 2010s were dominated by, and largely defined by, LeBron James’s reaching of eight consecutive NBA Finals with the Miami Heat, Cleveland Cavaliers and Los Angeles Lakers; his appearance in ten straight finals overall is unmatched in any major North American professional sport. Other active players have achieved this feat including Paul Pierce, Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Tim Duncan and Dwyane Wade; all of whom have won at least two championships each while playing with James on their respective teams during their careers. Last year’s Finals marked Pierce’s fourth appearance in Game 7, which ties Bob Dandridge for second most appearances behind only James himself (5). There have been 32 Game 7s in NBA Finals history.
The 2020 NBA Finals will be the championship series of the 2019–20 National Basketball Association (NBA) season and conclusion of that season’s playoffs. Similar to previous years, seven games will be played in total if necessary – four games followed by three if needed – meaning that one team will win four times before their opponents win three times overall. The series will be played between October 30th and November 17th 2020 if necessary; these dates coincide with those originally set for Games 1 through 7 of last year’s Stanley Cup Finals before it was postponed due to COVID-19 pandemic.
