The era of parity in the NBA postseason will continue for at least another year. Over the weekend, two teams punched their ticket to their respective conference finals.
New York beat Boston in Game 6 on Friday, and Oklahoma City beat Denver in Game 7 on Sunday. With the Thunder beating the Nuggets and New York beating Boston, that guaranteed another year of parity. For the seventh consecutive postseason, the NBA will crown a new champion. There hasn’t been a repeat champion since the Warriors in 2017 & 2018.
