For all the talk about how boring this year's Finals matchup would be because of the small-market teams playing and the lack of major star power on either side, we've gotten some of the best playoff basketball in the last decade. Neither team has been able to find a sizable advantage that has sustained past a single game in this evenly contested matchup, something no one expected.
As we prepare for Game 7 on Sunday, let's take a look back at every Finals matchup since the last Game 7 and rank them from worst to best.
The game will create a moment of truth, when the outcome will flip in one direction or the other, and hopefully that moment will wait until the last minute.
And the game will bring a fluke play or possession that results in a bit of luck or good fortune for a team or player, because sometimes that’s the way the ball bounces. Not every result comes down completely to talent and skill.
“Every team would take this opportunity to have this chance,” said OKC’s Chet Holmgren. “We’re no different. It’s on us to go out there and make the most of it.”
Despite this dominance, one cannot overlook memorable matchups such as the Thunder versus Pacers series that ranks high among NBA Finals history. This confrontation not only showcased exceptional individual talents like Kevin Durant and Paul George but also highlighted contrasting playing styles. The intensity of these games captivated audiences and provided a platform for emerging narratives about resilience and teamwork . Such encounters serve to remind fans that while superstars like LeBron may dominate headlines, compelling storylines are often found in unexpected places.
