The tournament concluded with the Eastern Conference champion and defending champion Miami Heat defeating the Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs 4 games to 3 in the NBA Finals. LeBron James was named NBA Finals MVP for the second straight year. Overview The Miami Heat headed into the playoffs with a franchise–best 66 wins, topping the league in the regular season. Their 2012 Finals opponents, the Oklahoma City Thunder, topped the Western Conference with 60 wins, making it the first time since 2006 that the two teams who faced off in the previous year's finals topped their respective conferences in the next regular season. This was also the final NBA Playoffs played under commissioner David Stern. Western Conference The San Antonio Spurs continued the longest active playoff streak at 16 straight appearances.ESPN – Top stats to know: NBA playoffs The Dallas Mavericks missed the playoffs for the first time since 2000, ending the second-longest active streak of playoff appearances, which stretched 12 years.Hoopsworld https://web.archive.org/web/20130722120935/http://www.hoopsworld.com/mavericks-end-12-year-playoff-streak July 22, 2013 The Los Angeles Clippers made franchise history by winning their first Pacific Division title and having a 56–win season, tied with the Memphis Grizzlies, whose 56 wins were also a franchise record. However, home court advantage went to the Clippers by virtue of winning their division. Meanwhile, the Los Angeles Lakers entered their eighth consecutive postseason. However, this was their first appearance since 1996 without Kobe Bryant, as he was out with injury. The Denver Nuggets entered their tenth consecutive postseason. They also earned the West's third seed and headed into the playoffs with a franchise–record 57 wins. The Golden State Warriors made their first playoff appearance since 2007, while the Houston Rockets made their first playoff appearance since 2009. Eastern Conference The Indiana Pacers won the Central Division for the first time since 2004, while the New York Knicks entered the playoffs with their best regular-season performance since 1996 end, finishing atop the Atlantic Division for the first time since 1993 end. The Knicks also opened the playoffs at home for the first time since 2001. The Brooklyn Nets made the playoffs for the first time since 2007, when they were known as the New Jersey Nets, while the Milwaukee Bucks appeared for the first time since 2010. The Bucks were the first team since 2011 to make the playoffs despite finishing below .500 in the regular season. The New York Knicks entered their third consecutive postseason. Their first round opponent, the Boston Celtics opened their postseason run just days after the Boston Marathon bombing, which occurred just blocks from where the Celtics play their games at TD Garden. The Orlando Magic missed the playoffs for the first time since 2006, ending the longest active streak in the Eastern Conference. As a result, the Atlanta Hawks would own this distinction from 2013 to 2017. First Round Game 1 of the Nets–Bulls series marked the first time that Barclays Center hosted a playoff game. Game 7 of the same series also marked the 14th straight postseason with at least one Game 7. The 1999 NBA playoffs was the last time that a Game 7 was not played. With their series sweep of the Milwaukee Bucks, the Miami Heat swept a playoff series for the first time since 2005. They also won every game by double digits. Game 3 of the Knicks–Celtics series was the first Celtics home game since the Boston Marathon Bombings. Game 4 of the Spurs–Lakers series was the final Lakers playoff game until 2020. With their Game 6 win over the Boston Celtics, the New York Knicks won a playoff series for the first time since 2000. Conference Semifinals For the first time since 2000, the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers met in the postseason, reigniting the Knicks–Pacers rivalry. With Oklahoma City's Game 5 loss to the Memphis Grizzlies in the Conference Semifinals, home court advantage in the Western Conference Finals went to the San Antonio Spurs, who were two games ahead of the Grizzlies. With the win, the Grizzlies made the conference finals for the first time in franchise history. With their Game 6 win over the Golden State Warriors, the San Antonio Spurs returned to the Western Conference Finals for the second consecutive year. With their Game 6 win over the New York Knicks, the Indiana Pacers made the Eastern Conference Finals for the first time since 2004. The Knicks did not return to the playoffs until 2021. Conference Finals By sweeping the Memphis Grizzlies in the Western Conference Finals, the San Antonio Spurs returned to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2007. For the second consecutive postseason, the Eastern Conference Finals went to a Game 7. The Heat won the game, and earned their third straight berth in the NBA Finals. NBA Finals The 2013 NBA Finals were notable for several reasons. Game 2: LeBron James’ block of Tiago Splitter Game 5: Danny Green setting an NBA Finals record for three pointers made in a series. Game 6: The Miami Heat came back from a five-point deficit with 28.2 seconds in regulation to win the game in overtime. The highlights of the comeback, Ray Allen's game tying three pointer at the end of regulation and Chris Bosh's game winning block against Danny Green, rated Game 6 of the 2013 NBA Finals as one of the greatest NBA Finals games ever played. Game 7: The Miami Heat won their second consecutive NBA championship with a win over the San Antonio Spurs. The Spurs, on the other hand, lost an NBA Finals series for the first time in franchise history. This was the last NBA Finals series ever played under NBA commissioner David Stern, and this was also the last time the NBA Finals were played in the 2–3–2 format. The format was reverted to the 2–2–1–1–1 format beginning in 2014. Format NBA Playoffs#Format The six division winners and 10 other teams with the most wins from each conference qualified for the playoffs. The seedings are based on each team's record; however, a division winner is guaranteed to be ranked at least fourth, regardless of record. Tiebreak procedures The tiebreakers that determine seedings are: Division leader wins tie from team not leading a division Head-to-head record Division record (if all the tied teams are in the same division) Conference record Record vs. playoff teams, own conference Record vs. playoff teams, other conference (only in two-way tie) Point differential, all games If there were more than two teams tied, the team that wins the tiebreaker gets the highest seed, while the other teams were "re-broken" from the first step until all ties were resolved. Since the three division winners were guaranteed a spot in the top four, ties to determine the division winners had to be broken before any other ties.

The division champions are marked by an asterisk. Home court advantage for the playoffs does not necessarily belong to the higher-seeded team, but instead the team with the better regular season record. Teams with home court advantage are shown in italics. If two teams with the same record meet in a round, standard tiebreaker rules are used. The rule for determining home court advantage in the NBA Finals is head-to-head record followed by record vs. opposite conference.

The Bulls drew up a play to give Luol Deng a go-ahead corner three. Deng missed the three, but Joakim Noah grabbed two offensive rebounds and tied the game at 111–111. Deron Williams attempted to win the game at the end of regulation, but his shot rimmed out, and the Bulls forced overtime. During the overtimes, several players fouled out. For the Nets, Gerald Wallace and Reggie Evans would foul out while Robinson, Noah, and Gibson would foul out for the Bulls. The Bulls would go on to win the game in triple overtime as they pushed the Nets to the brink of elimination. #eee April 29 7:00 pm Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York City TNT Chicago Bulls 91 Brooklyn Nets 110 Boxscore 21–26 23–26 29–25 18–33 Nate Robinson 20 Brook Lopez 28 Carlos Boozer 10 Reggie Evans 12 Nate Robinson 8 Deron Williams 10 17,732 Mike Callahan, Tom Washington, Zach Zarba Chicago leads series, 3–2 May 2 8:00 pm United Center, Chicago TNT Brooklyn Nets 95 Chicago Bulls 92 Boxscore 33–27 27–27 15–17 20–21 three players 17 each Marco Belinelli 22 Reggie Evans 15 Joakim Noah 15 Deron Williams 11 Marco Belinelli 7 21,810 Scott Foster, John Goble, Bill Kennedy Series tied, 3–3 #eee May 4 8:00 pm Barclays Center, Brooklyn, New York City TNT Chicago Bulls 99 Brooklyn Nets 93 Boxscore 29–25 32–19 21–31 17–18 Belinelli, Noah 24 each Deron Williams 24 Joakim Noah 14 Reggie Evans 13 Butler, Robinson 4 each Deron Williams 7 17,732 Monty McCutchen, James Capers, Jason Phillips Chicago wins series, 4–3 The Bulls entered this game without the services of Derrick Rose, Luol Deng, and Kirk Hinrich, but almost blew a 3–1 series lead to the Nets.

The game was close throughout, with neither team leading by more than 8 points. The Heat entered the fourth quarter with a 62–58 lead and led 86–83 with just over two minutes to play when the Bulls scored the game's final 10 points. After giving up only 37 points in the first half, the Heat's defense allowed the Bulls to score 35 points in the 4th quarter alone. After Marco Bellinelli's game-tying three-pointer knotted the game at 86, Nate Robinson took over, scoring two consecutive shots to put the Bulls up 90–86 with just over 40 seconds left. On the Heat's next two possessions, LeBron James would shoot an airball and miss a long three-pointer, and Nate Robinson made enough free throws to seal the win and help the Bulls steal homecourt advantage.

San Antonio finally tied the game on a Danny Green 3-pointer with 20 seconds left. Stephen Curry (who scored 22 points in the 3rd quarter) would have a shot to win the game at the buzzer, but he missed a tightly contested 15-footer. Manu Ginobili had a shot to potentially win the game at the end of the 1st overtime, but it was off the mark. With 44 seconds on the game clock in double overtime, Ginobili missed a three-pointer that would have given the Spurs a six-point lead. Curry then made a two-point shot twelve seconds later to narrow the score to one. A missed layup by Tony Parker gave the Warriors the ball back; with three seconds to go, Kent Bazemore gave the Warriors the lead on a layup. However, Ginobili would shoot a three-pointer to give the Spurs the lead with one second remaining on the clock, and Jarrett Jack's running jumper shot missed at the buzzer to deliver a Spurs victory.https://www.espn.com/nba/playbyplay/_/gameId/400464174 Warriors vs. Spurs - Play-By-Play - May 6, 2013 - ESPNNotebook: Spurs 129, Warriors 127, 2 OT Tim Price May 7, 2013 http://www.nba.com/games/20130506/GSWSAS/gameinfo.html?ls=pot#nbaGIlive NBA.com May 8 9:30 pm AT&T Center, San Antonio TNT Golden State Warriors 100 San Antonio Spurs 91 Boxscore 28–23 34–20 21–29 17–19 Klay Thompson 34 Tim Duncan 23 Klay Thompson 14 Kawhi Leonard 12 Draymond Green 5 Manu Ginóbili 4 18,581 Danny Crawford, James Capers, Jason Phillips Series tied, 1–1 #eee May 10 10:30 pm Oracle Arena, Oakland, California ESPN San Antonio Spurs 102 Golden State Warriors 92 Boxscore 32–23 25–25 22–21 23–23 Tony Parker 32 Klay Thompson 17 Tim Duncan 10 Andrew Bogut 12 Tony Parker 5 Stephen Curry 8 19,596 Monty McCutchen, Rodney Mott, Bill Spooner San Antonio leads series, 2–1 May 12 3:30 pm Oracle Arena, Oakland, California ABC San Antonio Spurs 87 Golden State Warriors 97 OT Boxscore 26–19 19–18 17–23 22–24 3–13 Manu Ginóbili 21 Harrison Barnes 26 Tim Duncan 15 Andrew Bogut 18 four players 3 each three players 4 each 19,596 Scott Foster, John Goble, Bill Kennedy Series tied, 2–2 #eee May 14 9:30 pm AT&T Center, San Antonio TNT Golden State Warriors 91 San Antonio Spurs 109 Boxscore 28–37 23–17 21–29 19–26 Harrison Barnes 25 Tony Parker 25 Harrison Barnes 7 Tim Duncan 11 Stephen Curry 8 Tony Parker 10 18,581 Ken Mauer, Ed Malloy, Tom Washington San Antonio leads series, 3–2 May 16 10:30 pm Oracle Arena, Oakland, California ESPN San Antonio Spurs 94 Golden State Warriors 82 Boxscore 21–19 26–21 19–19 28–23 Tim Duncan 19 Stephen Curry 22 Kawhi Leonard 10 Ezeli, Bogut 7 each Manu Ginóbili 11 Stephen Curry 6 19,596 Joe Crawford, Sean Corbin, Derrick Stafford San Antonio wins series, 4–2 Regular-season series Tied 2–2 in the regular-season series#fff January 18, 2013 2013 0118 GSWSAS Golden State Warriors 88 San Antonio Spurs 95 AT&T Center, San Antonio February 22, 2013 2013 0213 SASGSW San Antonio Spurs 101 Golden State Warriors 107 OT Oracle Arena, Oakland, California #fff March 20, 2013 2013 0320 GSWSAS Golden State Warriors 93 San Antonio Spurs 104 AT&T Center, San Antonio #fff April 15, 2013 2013 0415 SASGSW San Antonio Spurs 106 Golden State Warriors 116 Oracle Arena, Oakland, California This was the second playoff meeting between these two teams, with the Warriors winning the first meeting. +Previous playoff serieshttps://www.basketball-reference.com/play-index/rivals.cgi?request=1&team_id=GSW&opp_id=SAS&is_playoffs=Y Team Rivalry Finder — Golden State Warriors versus San Antonio Spurs (Playoffs) basketball-reference.com March 11, 2016Golden State leads 1–0 in all-time playoff series#fff 1991 Golden State Warriors 3 San Antonio Spurs 1 1991 Western Conference First Round This is the most recent playoff series between the Spurs & Warriors until 2017.

Their .889 postseason winning percentage is the best among teams with at least three overtime games played and the second-highest among all teams.http://www.nba.com/gamenotes/heat.pdf NBA Gamenotes NBA.com 18 June 2013 14 July 2013 Double-Digit wins in Postseason: The Heat's 16-point, 109–93, win in Game Four of the NBA Finals on June 13, 2013, was Miami's 12th double-figure win in the 2013 postseason. The 12 double-digit wins are the most by any team during a single postseason in NBA history. (Spurs tied this record in the 2014 NBA playoffs and all 12 of those victories would also be by 15+ points) The previous record was 11, held by five different teams, each winning the NBA Championship that postseason. Highest Field Goal Made Percentage, post season: Chris Andersen shot 80.7 percent (46-of-57) from the field in the 2013 postseason. He has become the first player in NBA postseason history to take at least 35 shots and shoot better than 75 percent from the field. Consecutive Finals games over 30 points: LeBron James scored 32 points in Game Six of the NBA Finals on June 18, 2013, and then made 37 points in Game Seven on June 20, 2013. According to Elias Sports Bureau, he became the first player in NBA history to score consecutive 30-point games to help rally his team from a 3–2 series deficit to win an NBA title. Game 7 over 30 Points: LeBron James finished the 2013 postseason by recording his fourth-straight 20-point Game Seven by scoring 37 points vs. the Spurs in the NBA Finals. He had previously scored 32 points vs. the Pacers on June 3, 2013, 31 points vs. the Celtics on June 9, 2012, and 45 points vs. the Celtics on May 18, 2008. The Elias Sports Bureau reports he has tied the record of the only other player to score at least 30 points in four consecutive Game 7's, Elgin Baylor (33 on 3/26/60, 39 on 4/1/61, 41 on 4/18/62, 35 on 4/11/63 and 33 on 4/15/66). Highest scoring average in game sevens: LeBron James is averaging 34.4 points in Game 7's of the postseason during his career, currently the best average in NBA history. Most 3-point FG in Postseason: Ray Allen owns the record for most 3-point field goals in the postseason – 385. Most 4 point plays in a Finals game, 2: On June 16, 2013, Ray Allen converted two free throws after making three-point field goals, one at the 5:08 mark in the 2nd quarter, and the other with 8:37 left in the 4th quarter. There had previously been only 12 four point plays in the NBA Finals history. Team Leader in Points, Rebounds, and Assists: LeBron James' 18 points, 18 rebounds and 10 assists vs. San Antonio on June 6, 2013, was the 28th time he has led his team outright (no ties) in each of those categories during the playoffs, the most in NBA postseason history. In addition, he has been the outright game-high leader (no ties) in each of those categories eight times, also the most in NBA postseason history. His eight such games are more than the combined total of the next three players to achieve the feat. 25-10-8: LeBron James' 32 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists vs. SA on June 18, 2013, marked his 15th postseason 25-point, 10-rebound, eight-assist game, the most in NBA postseason history. According to Elias, second on this list is Oscar Robertson with 10 such games. Most Three Pointers In A Final Series: On June 16, 2013, Danny Green converted 25 three-pointers through 5 games of the 2013 NBA Finals, breaking Ray Allen's record of 22 three-pointers that he had set in the 2008 Finals against the Los Angeles Lakers. He extended the record to 27 three-pointers, converting two three-pointers (one per game) on June 18 and June 20. However, the Heat won the series 4–3.
