The NBA finals is the exciting conclusion to the season where teams face off against each other to see who gets to take the championship title home, along with all the associated bragging rights. A raging battle ensues between the East and the West, to see who can triumph in a best of seven – with the winner getting to string the banner between their rafters.

Previously it was a best of five competitions, which has been modified to a 2-3-2 format. This means the first two games and the last two games are played with the processing team having the advantage of the home court. The last two games are played only if it is necessary to decide a clear winner. Games are played in a 2-2-1-1-1-1 format, excluding the first two and the last two.
