2024 NBA Finals
Updated: 12/11/2025, 2:44:13 PM Wikipedia source
The 2024 NBA Finals was the championship series of the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s 2023–24 season and conclusion to the season's playoffs. In the best-of-seven playoffs series, the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics defeated the Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks four games to one, winning their first championship since 2008 and 18th overall, giving the Celtics the most NBA championships of any franchise. The Celtics' Jaylen Brown was voted the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (FMVP), after averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists per game. For his performances and plays in the series, Brown received seven out of the 11 votes for FMVP; the rest went to his teammate Jayson Tatum. The Celtics were seen as favorites for winning the championship, finishing with a 64–18 record, the best across the league, and quickly dispatching their opponents during their playoff run. Meanwhile, the Mavericks only became a Finals contender midway through the season after a series of roster changes, finishing as the fifth seed in their conference. The series started on June 6 and concluded on June 17. The Celtics won the first two games at home. In Dallas, the Celtics were initially on their way to a dominant Game 3 victory, but the Mavericks went on a run in the fourth quarter to jeopardize it. The Celtics nonetheless pulled through, winning the game and putting them up 3–0 in the series. The next game, the Mavericks responded with one of the largest blowout victories in NBA Finals history, but the Celtics made easy work of Dallas upon their return to Boston, winning Game 5 and claiming the championship. After the defending champion Denver Nuggets were bested by the Minnesota Timberwolves (who were later defeated by the Mavericks) in the second round of the playoffs, it guaranteed that there would be a sixth unique champion team in a row, the longest such parity streak in NBA Finals history since 1975–1980. The streak continued with the Celtics being eliminated in the second round of the 2025 playoffs.
