The 2024 NBA Finals was the championship series of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) 2023–24 season and conclusion to the season's playoffs. In the best-of-seven playoffs series, starting on June 6 and concluding on June 17, the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics defeated the Western Conference champion Dallas Mavericks four games to one. The Celtics' Jaylen Brown was voted the NBA Finals Most Valuable Player (MVP). Led by the duo of Jayson Tatum and Brown, the Celtics were seen as favorites for winning the championship, finishing with a league-best 64–18 regular season record and advancing through the playoffs with a 12–2 record. The fifth-seeded Mavericks built around Luka Dončić only became a Finals contender midway through the season after a series of roster changes. The Celtics won the first two games at home to start the series. In Dallas, the Celtics built a large lead in Game 3 which the Mavericks significantly narrowed in the fourth quarter before Boston pulled through with the victory. The Mavericks responded in Game 4 with one of the largest blowout victories in Finals history, but the Celtics won Game 5 in Boston decisively to claim the championship. With the victory, the Celtics won their first championship since 2008 and their 18th overall, giving them the most championships of any franchise in the NBA. They were the sixth unique champion team in a row in what capped off a historically dominant season and playoffs. They continued to compete behind Brown and Tatum, but let go of many players from the championship team after being eliminated in the 2025 playoffs. Meanwhile, the Mavericks controversially traded away Dončić the next season and entered a rebuild.
