The 2015 NBA Finals was the championship series of the 2014–15 season of the National Basketball Association (NBA) and the conclusion of the season’s playoffs. Golden State, who finished with NBA best regular season record at 67–15, defeated Cleveland, who had a 53–29 record during the regular season, four games to two. For the first time since 1979, both number one seeds from each conference met in the Finals. These teams met again in the 2016 NBA Finals where Golden State won in seven games. It was also Cleveland’s second consecutive trip to the NBA Finals, and their fourth trip in franchise history (first ever back-to-back).

Golden State earned home court advantage with their league-best record. The Warriors won Game 1 96–88 on June 4 at Oracle Arena despite a triple-double from Cavaliers’ forward LeBron James. James scored 44 points in Game 2, but his team still lost 100–91 as Stephen Curry scored 28 points. Curry led his team to a 103–82 win in Game 3 for a commanding 3–0 series lead. The Cavaliers won Game 4 96–91 behind another 37 points from James, cutting their deficit down to 3–1. However, they failed to capitalize on this momentum as they lost Game 5 104–91 on June 14; Warriors’ forward Andre Iguodala was named Finals MVP unanimously after scoring 25 points off the bench in that game while adding five rebounds and five assists.[3][4][5]

It was Golden State’s first championship since 1975 (previous longest drought among teams that have won an NBA title), and their first title since relocating from San Francisco to Oakland prior to the 1971–72 season (a period of 40 years). As for Cleveland, this marked their first Finals appearance since 2007 and second appearance overall (also losers in 1957) since joining the league in 1970 as an expansion franchise; they became only the fifth team ever—and third in NBA history—to lose consecutive Finals (joining those 1957 Pistons and 2008 Celtics).[6][7]

Kawhi Leonard earned the NBA Finals MVP honors for the second time in his career, as he led the San Antonio Spurs to a commanding 4-1 series victory over the Miami Heat. Leonard averaged 22.0 points, 6.6 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the series, shooting an efficient 50.6 percent from the floor and 46.2 percent from three-point range. He was especially sharp in the crucial Game 5, scoring 32 points on 11-of-20 shooting to close out the series.

This was a Redemption Victory for Leonard and the Spurs, who lost to the Heat in last year’s Finals despite leading the series 3-2. They made sure there would be no repeat this time around, dominant from start to finish against aMiami team that simply couldn’t keep up.

The Spurs placed nine players in double figures in scoring in the series, with Leonard and Tony Parker leading the way. Parker was excellent throughout, averaging 19.5 points and 4.7 assists while shooting 53 percent from the field; he had 21 points and five assists in the clinching Game 5. Tim Duncan also did his part, averaging 14.4 points and 9.4 rebounds while providing his usual rock-solid defense in the middle; he had 13 points, eight rebounds and two blocks in Game 5.

For Miami, it was a disappointing end to what had been a promising season. LeBron James put up solid numbers across the board (28.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4 assists per game), but he didn’t have enough help from his supporting cast; Dwyane Wade averaged 19 points but shot just 43 percent from the field, while Chris Bosh averaged 16 points but shot an abysmal 28 percent (11-for-39) from three-point range for the series. The Heat simply couldn’t keep pace with San Antonio’s balanced attack, and they will have to regroup this offseason if they want to reclaim their throne next year.

2012-2013: Miami Heat vs. Oklahoma City Thunder

The 2013 NBA Finals were the championship series of the 2012–13 NBA season and the conclusion of the season’s playoffs. The Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat defeated the Western Conference champion Oklahoma City Thunder 4 games to 2 to win their second straight title.
