The championship started on June 6 and finished on June 17. The team with a better regular season record got home-court advantage, which means games 1, 2, and 5 were played in Boston.

Coming into the Finals, both the Celtics and the Mavericks were in good form and it was expected to be a closely fought series. However, the Celtics prevailed quite easily after taking a commanding 3-0 lead and then wrapped it up 4 games to 1. The Celtics, led by Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown not only looked good on offense but played superbly on defense to stifle the Mavericks players throughout the series. Moreover, the Celtics played much more as a team with several players contributing on the floor while the Mavericks were heavily reliant on their star player Luka Doncic.
