The National Basketball Association (NBA) Playoffs is a best-of-seven elimination tournament between sixteen teams in the Eastern Conference and Western Conference (called Divisions, pre-1970), ultimately deciding the final four teams who will play in the NBA Conference Finals.
Only three 8th seeded teams have managed to win a series versus the number 1 seeded team: The Denver Nuggets eliminated the Seattle SuperSonics 3--2 in 1994, the New York Knicks eliminated the Miami Heat 3--2 in 1999 (which was a lockout shortened season), the Golden State Warriors defeated the Dallas Mavericks 4--2 in the 2007 Western Conference First Round, becoming the first 8 seed to beat a 1 seed in the best of 7 format. The 1999 Knicks are the only 8th seeded team ever to reach the NBA Finals.
The 1994--95 Houston Rockets, a sixth seed, were the lowest seeded team to win the NBA Finals. In the NBA Finals, the Rockets swept the Orlando Magic (57--25) in four games.
The San Antonio Spurs own the longest NBA Playoff winning streak for a single postseason with 12 straight wins in the 1999 Playoffs and a 15--2 finish overall. The Los Angeles Lakers own the most dominant post-season appearance with a 15--1 record in the 2001 Playoffs; they also have the second-longest playoff-game win streak with 11 in that season.
Of all the teams with multiple NBA Finals appearances, the Chicago Bulls and San Antonio Spurs are the only teams with perfect records at 6--0 and 4--0, respectively. (Note: these are the series records, not the individual game records)
The Boston Celtics possess the most overall NBA Finals series wins with an overall record of 17--4. The Los Angeles Lakers have played in the most NBA Finals series (31) with an overall record of 16--15.
The longest playoff appearance streak currently belongs to the San Antonio Spurs at 13 appearances, with the Dallas Mavericks next in line with 10. The longest ever streak of playoffs appearances in a row belongs to the Syracuse Nationals/Philadelphia 76ers, who made the playoffs 22 straight years from the 1949--50 season to the 1970--71 season.
