2018 EASTERN CONFERENCE FINALS PROFESSIONAL
This year's Finals was the first time in any of North America's four major professional sports leagues that the same two teams met for the championship four years in a row. The Warriors additionally joined the Heat ( 2012, 2013) as the only teams in the 2010s decade to repeat as champions. The Warriors became the 7th NBA franchise to win back-to-back championships, joining the Los Angeles Lakers, Boston Celtics, Detroit Pistons, Chicago Bulls, Houston Rockets, and Miami Heat. In this best-of-seven playoff series, the defending NBA champion and Western Conference champion Golden State Warriors swept the Eastern Conference champion Cleveland Cavaliers in four games to win back-to-back titles, three in four years, and six overall, making it the second time that the Warriors swept a team in the Finals the first being against the Washington Bullets in 1975.

The Celtics scored the last eight points of the first half, including 3-pointers by Baynes and one by Rozier at the buzzer, to open a 61-52 lead.
Only four players on each side remain from that series. The Celtics and Cavaliers will meet in the Eastern Conference finals for the second straight year, but both teams have undergone near-complete overhauls since the Cavaliers eliminated Boston in five games last year. Philadelphia's full-court inbounds pass was intercepted by Smart, and he threw the ball in the air to run out the clock. Marcus Smart missed his first free-throw attempt and appeared to try to miss the second, too - to force the Sixers to bring the ball up the court with the clock running - but the ball went in. Reddick's 3-pointer cut the deficit to one.
