It's all over!
It’s been a lot of basketball. We had the July Olympics in France, then a marathon season from late October and a postseason that ended on 22 June.

That’ll do it for our live coverage of the NBA Finals – thank you for following along with us. Wherever you are, let’s hope the days to come bring peace.
