With a Celtics-Mavs Finals matchup set on June 6 (8:30 ET, ABC), check out some key storylines before tipoff.
And just like that, the NBA Finals is set.
The Mavs are four wins shy of just their second championship in franchise history.
The Celtics are seeking an unprecedented 18th title, which would break a tie with the Lakers for the most all-time.
The Stakes: Boston boasts more banners, but neither team has raised the Larry O’Brien Trophy in over 10 years - so let’s refresh on what a ring would mean for each franchise.
Boston’s Break: A championship for the Celtics would snap their second-longest title drought in franchise history. It’s been 16 years since they last cut down the nets in 2008 - which ended a 22-year drought dating back to 1986
Recent Finals: Despite having a 17-5 record in their past 22 Finals appearances, the Celtics have gone 0-2 in their last two trips, losing to the Warriors in 2022 and the Lakers in 2010
Dallas’ Third Dance: The Mavs haven’t been to the Finals since defeating the Heat in 2011, which avenged their Finals loss to Miami in 2006 - their first appearance on the big stage
Chasing History: Dallas could become the first No. 5 seed in NBA history to win a title, and they are just the second No. 5 seed to make the Finals, joining the 2020 Heat
