Here’s the latest I can provide about the 2014 NBA playoffs.
- The 2014 NBA playoffs concluded with the San Antonio Spurs defeating the Miami Heat in the Finals, 4 games to 1, to win the championship. The Spurs claimed their fifth title in franchise history, led by coach Gregg Popovich and finals MVP Kawhi Leonard.[5]
- In the conference finals, the Spurs beat the Oklahoma City Thunder in five games in the Western Conference Finals, while the Miami Heat swept the Indiana Pacers in the Eastern Conference Finals to advance to the Finals.[1]
- Notable records from that postseason included several overtime thrillers in the first round and the Heat’s continued success on the road in playoff series, along with the Pacers’ Game 7 victory over the Hawks in the first round.[2]
If you want, I can pull up a concise bracket recap or a game-by-game summary for the Finals or any round. I can also provide a quick visualization (e.g., a chart of games won by round) if you’d like.
