NBA Finals Game 7 History: looking back to the last seven 7s games

Oklahoma City – On Sunday evening we will attend the 20th game 7 in NBA Finals History – A game with everything online.

“A game. I mean, that’s it all,” said the Pacers Rick Carlisle coach. “This is what you dream of growing, this type of opportunity.”

It is a phase in which the biggest and most legendary names of the game – as well as some role -players with impeccable times – have affected their name in the NBA tradition.

“When I think of Game 7, at least in the final, I think of San Antonio and Miami, and I think of Lakers/Celtics,” said Alex Caruso.

Sunday, people will think of Pacer against Thunder. Either Indian or Oklahoma City will win his first NBA championship (we are not counting the title that the former Thunder has won as SuperSonics in Seattle, they will have an expansion team in that city that can count that title soon soon).

In honor of the game 7, we look back at the last seven 7s games of the NBA finals.

2016: Cavaliers at Warriors

This is the game 7 that attacks many people in the mind.

“I think he is probably one of the greatest games I have ever been able to look as a basketball fan,” said Tyrese Haliburton. “This is what makes Game 7 so funny.”

“2016, that was Kyrie’s passage on the wing,” said Obi Toppin of Pacers when he was asked about his favorite memory of Game 7. “Yes, this was probably the coldest, for sure.”

We can only hope that Sunday’s game 7 will live up to the drama of the latest game 7 of the NBA finals, when Lebron James put a line of 27 points, 11 rebounds, 11 assists and three blocks, even if we remember only one.

Lebron’s effort helped Cleveland to turn a return from the 3-1 series and beat Golden State on his home court. Don’t forget Kevin Love’s defense on Stephen Curry late in that game.

2013: Spurs at Heat

This NBA final is remembered more for the game 6, when Ray Allen’s corner 3 on an offensive rebound by Chris Bosh forced a game 7 just as it seemed that San Antonio would celebrate a title. After that, the heat still had work to do. In the game 7, Lebron took the command with 37 points and 12 rebounds, while Dwyane Wade added 23 points and 10 rebounds in the victory of Miami 95-88.

2010: Celtics vs. Lakers

The Lakers had come from 3-2 down the series to force a game 7 (and not ask Celtics fans “and if Kendrick Perkins had been healthy?”). Like a lot of game 7S, this was not cute. Kobe Bryant intensified 23 points and 15 rebounds and Pau Gasol added 19 points and 18 axes. However, with the Lakers increasing only 3 and more than a minute in the game, it was the 3-pointer of Ron Artest which proved to be the greatest shot of the night, leading to the largest post-match podium session in the history of the NBA.

2005: Pistons at Spurs

This was the Finals of Peak Defense-Solo NBA, a team broke through the whole series-e San Antonio won Game 7 in a Slugfest 81-74. Tim Duncan did his things with 25 points and 11 rebounds, but it was Manu Ginobili who marked 11 points in the fourth quarter that blocks the title for the Spurs.

1994: Knicks at Rockets

New York had an advantage of the 3-2 series, but under the old 3-2-3 format, he had to go to Houston and seal the agreement. Hakeem Olajuwon proved too much. In the game 7 he had 25 points, 10 rebounds, seven assists and three shots blocked. This was the first of the back-to-back rocket titles.

1988: Pistons at Lakers

“Big Game” James World was up to that reputation in this with a triple double of 36 points, 16 rebounds and 10 assists. Magic Johnson also distinguished himself with 19 points and 14 assists to help the Lakers return from a 3-2 deficit in the series and win.

1984: Lakers Attics

Obviously this classic game of the finals of the 80s characterized a great game of Larry Bird – 20 points, 12 rebounds – but this game is remembered as the game Cedric Maxwell: 24 points, eight rebounds, eight assists and two thefts. The Celtics managed to raise Larry O’Brien Trophy that year.
