The National Basketball Association features the best players in the world coming together to put their talents to the test against each other. These teams play through a grueling 82 game schedule before squaring off in the playoffs.

During the 1970s the NBA was trying to change some things up a little bit with the formatting in the playoffs. The NBA decided that they would have 5 teams from each conference make the playoffs. With this format, they top 3 teams would have an automatic bye out of the first round of the playoffs and the remaining teams would square off to decide who got to play the top seed in each half of the bracket.

The top seed for the Western Conference was the Golden State Warriors. In the Eastern Conference the top seed was earned by the Boston Celtics.

There was a different system of elimination during the play-in round of the tournament as well. The 4th and 5th seeds would play each other in a very short series. The series was just best of 3 games and the first team to win 2 games would advance. Seattle managed to oust Detroit in the first round in the Western Conference while Houston ...
... beat out New York in the first round of the Eastern Conference.

The Warriors would take on Seattle in the Western Conference semifinals and they had a solid series. Seattle managed to steal two games away from Golden State and pushed the series to 6 games. Unfortunately for Seattle, the Warriors were just too good and they won the series in the 6th game.

The other series in the Western Conference side of the bracket featured Chicago and KC-Omaha. The Bulls were too good for their opponents and they also won the series in 6 games en route to advancing to play against Golden State in the Western Conference Finals.

The Western Conference Finals were intense and the series dragged out to the limit. The Warriors and Bulls battled through the 7th game before the Warriors came out on top against the Bulls to advance to the NBA Finals.

The Boston Celtics were too strong for Houston and easily took the series in 5 games. Washington and Buffalo had a solid series that went to the limit. This was the only series that went to 7 games on the Eastern Conference side of the bracket and was very exciting. When all was said and done Washington came out on top and played against the Celtics to see who would go to the Finals to take on the Warriors.

Boston was certainly favored going into the matchup, but Washington was not ready to give up. They were strong throughout the series and managed to oust the Celtics in 6 games. This 4-2 series victory gave Washington the opportunity to play against Golden State in the Finals.

Unfortunately the opportunity for Washington did not work out the way they hoped it would. They played hard, but they were swept easily by Golden State in 4 games to make the Warriors the NBA Champs.
