What is 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 NBA Finals was first played in 1947, when the Basketball Association of America (BAA) merged with the National Basketball League (NBL). The first ever Finals was played between the Philadelphia Warriors and the Chicago Stags, with the Warriors winning the series 4–1.

What is the history of the NBA Finals?

The National Basketball Association Finals is the championship series for the NBA and the conclusion of its postseason. All NBA Finals have been played in a best-of-seven format, and contested between the winners of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference (formerly Divisions before 1970), except in 1950 when the Eastern Division champion faced the winner between the Western and Central Division champions.

The winning team of the series receives the Larry O’Brien Championship Trophy, which replaced the Walter A. Brown Trophy in 1983. Until 1971, NBA Finals were named after the divisional series it was played in (i.e. NBA World Championship Series). From 1947 to 1949, prior to divisions being introduced, two rounds of playoffs were held with five teams apiece, with each conference champion playing one round against a division runner-up from crosstown rivals; this led to some fairly unbalanced matchups, such as when Fort Wayne defeated Minneapolis in 1949 despite being outscored by more than 14 points per game; conversely, that same season’s Eastern finals between Philadelphia and Washington was a four-game sweep. In 1950–51, three divisional round robins were conducted in each conference with final postseason berths going to two unbeaten teams and one team that had one loss; this meant that either one or two teams from each conference would have at least one loss coming into their playoff matchup and that at least one playoff series would be a four-game sweep (as it was between Washington and New York). The following year, playoff seeding was adjusted so that four strong teams from each conference would make it regardless of record; as a result all three 1953 Eastern finals matchups required Game 7s to determine victors while all three Western matchups ended in sweeps.

How do teams make it to the NBA Finals?

In order to make it to the NBA Finals, teams have to first make it through the regular season and then win four best-of-seven playoff series. The two teams that make it through the playoffs will then face off in the NBA Finals.

In order to make it to the playoffs, a team must have one of the best records in their respective conference. There are a total of 16 teams that make it through the playoffs, eight from the Western Conference and eight from the Eastern Conference.

Once the playoffs start, teams are seeded according to their regular season record. The team with the best record in each conference is given the #1 seed, while the team with the worst record is given the #8 seed.

The first round of the playoffs is a best-of-seven series, meaning that whichever team wins four games first will advance to the next round. The #1 seed will play against the #8 seed, #2 will play against #7, #3 will play against #6, and #4 will play against #5.

From there, each subsequent round is also a best-of-seven series. The winners of each conference will then face off in the NBA Finals.

The NBA Finals is also a best-of-seven series. Whoever wins four games first will be crowned NBA champions.
