The conference finals are underway in the 2024 NBA playoffs, as the Dallas Mavericks are one win away from sweeping the Minnesota Timberwolves and advancing to the NBA Finals. Game 4 of the Western Conference finals will be at the American Airlines Center in Dallas on Tuesday. If the Mavericks secure a 4-0 series sweep, they will advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2011.
The Boston Celtics became the league’s first team to advance to the NBA Finals with a sweep against the Indiana Pacers on Monday. The Celtics punched their ticket to the Finals with a dramatic 105-102 win and now await the winner of the Mavericks-Timberwolves series. For his efforts during the Eastern Conference finals, Jaylen Brown was named Larry Bird MVP. It will be Boston’s second NBA Finals trip in three years.
Regardless of which of the three remaining teams wins the 2024 title, the NBA will have its sixth different champion in six years — something that has not happened since 1975-1980.
The postseason field started with 20 teams, and now we’re down to three. The Warriors, Kings, Hawks and Bulls were ousted in the Play-In Tournament before the Pelicans, Suns, Clippers, Lakers, Heat, 76ers, Bucks and Magic were eliminated in the first round. The Cavs, Thunder, Knicks and Nuggets were sent home in the second round.
