2008 NBA Finals Championship Results

Boston Celtics, NBA champs once again

The Boston Celtics won their 17th NBA title in relentless fashion, trouncing the L.A. Lakers 131-92 to win the NBA Finals in six games. It's the Celtics' first title in 22 years, dating back to the Larry Bird era.

Boston's 39-point win surpassed the NBA record for the biggest margin of victory in a championship clincher. The 1965 Celtics beat the Lakers by 33 to win the title that year.

These Celtics completed the greatest one-year turnaround in NBA history. Last season they won just 24 games and missed the playoffs. This season they won 66 regular-season games and finished with a playoff-record 13 home wins.

Paul Pierce, who's spent his entire career wearing Celtic green, was named MVP of the finals. He scored 17 in the clinching win, but averaged more than 21 points in the NBA Finals.

The other two members of Boston's Big Three, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen, each scored 26.

2007 NBA Finals Championship Results

The San Antonio Spurs go for their fourth NBA title in nine years, a feat that would qualify them as a NBA dynasty. The San Antonio Spurs defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers 83-82 to win their fourth NBA Championship. The Spurs swept the series 4-0.

Tim Duncan had 24 points, 13 rebounds and five big blocked shots to lead the San Antonio Spurs to an 85-76 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1 of the NBA Finals.

In Game two, the Spurs dominated for most of the game, leading by as many as 29 points late in the third quarter before the Cavaliers made a run in the fourth. But it was too late for Cleveland and San Antonio came away with a 103-92 victory.

The Spurs took a commanding 3-0 lead over the Cleveland Cavaliers after a 75-72 victory in Game 3.

The rest was history, With an 83-82 escape that broomed away LeBron James' Cleveland Cavaliers and completed its first-ever Finals sweep, San Antonio joins an elite group of teams in NBA history that have won four titles in less than a decade, slotting in alongside the 1990s Chicago Bulls (six titles in eight seasons), the 1980s Los Angeles Lakers (five titles and three more trips to the Finals in that decade), the old Boston Celtics (nine championships in the '60s and 11 in 13 seasons from 1957-69) and the original Lakers in Minneapolis (five in six seasons from 1949-54). The Spurs are thus one of only four franchises since the NBA's inception in 1947 to win a championship four times, leaving them behind only the Celtics (16), Lakers (14) and Bulls (six).

2006 NBA Finals Results

Finally, the 2006 NBA Finals. It's been a remarkable run for the two conference champions, but only one team will be holding the Larry O'Brien Trophy and be crowned league champ for the first time.

The Miami Heat and Dallas Mavericks have both earned the right to be here after over comming of last year's finalists (and this year's favorites) along the way. The Heat and Mavs were both second choices to win their respective conferences going into the postseason and emerged victorious against the favored Detroit Pistons and San Antonio Spurs due to superior team play and coaching.

Heat Of The NightShaquille O'Neal promised an NBA championship to the city of Miami. Dwyane Wade helped him make good on his words. Wade scored 36 points, his fourth straight game with 35-plus, and the Heat beat the Mavs 95-92 in Game 6 for Miami's first world title. At the end of the night, Wade would take home the Finals MVP trophy and proved himself worthy in this series of carrying the superstar label that's bestowed upon him.

For Pat Riley, it's the first time in 18 years he can say it. For Shaquille O'Neal, it's been four years, and for Alonzo Mourning, Gary Payton and Dwyane Wade, it'will there first time they have been able to claim a NBA Championship.

Miami became just the third team in NBA Finals history to win a series after dropping the first two games, and the first to do it after losing Games 1 and 2 by double-digit margins. This series actually looked lost for the Heat with 6½ minutes left in Game 3 when they trailed by 13 on their home court, but the Mavericks relaxed too soon and never got their groove back, earning the dubious distinction of becoming the first team to lose the NBA Finals in the fourth quarter of Game 3.
