2001 NBA Playoffs
Encyclopedia
The 2001 NBA Playoffs
was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association
's 2000–01 season. The tournament concluded with the Western Conference
champion Los Angeles Lakers
winning their second consecutive championship by defeating the Eastern Conference
champion Philadelphia 76ers
four games to one.
This was the 76ers' first appearance in the championship round since Moses Malone
and Julius Erving
led the 1983
squad to the NBA championship (coincidently, last defeating the Lakers) in the famous "'fo, fo', fo'" year (which ended up being "fo', fi', fo", as Philadelphia lost one second-round game that year).
However, this was the Lakers' turn to put together the most dominant postseason in league history, finishing 15-1 with their only setback being an overtime loss to the Sixers in Game 1 of the championship round. The Lakers set a multitude of playoff records, including going undefeated in both regulation and on the road (finishing an unprecedented 8-0 in the latter category). They were the second NBA champion to defeat 4 successive 50-win or better teams on their way to the title as the Houston Rockets did it first in 1995. This team is widely regarded as one of the greatest teams of all time along with the 1967 Philadelphia 76ers, 1972 Los Angeles Lakers, 1983 Philadelphia 76ers, 1986 Boston Celtics, 1987 Los Angeles Lakers, 1989 Detroit Pistons and the 1996 Chicago Bulls.
The Milwaukee Bucks
were one of the surprise teams of the playoffs, winning a playoff series for the first time since 1989
and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1986
. , however, they have been unable to duplicate this feat.
The Dallas Mavericks
also ended years of futility in the 2001 playoffs, making the postseason for the first time since 1990
. Along the way they had had several abysmal seasons including back-to-back years with only 11 and 13 wins. By stunning the Utah Jazz
in the first round, the Mavericks won their first playoff series since 1988
. Reunion Arena
, the Mavs' home court for 21 years, hosted its last game (Game 4 of the second round against the San Antonio Spurs
); the Mavs moved to American Airlines Center
in 2001
.
The Sacramento Kings
won their first playoff series since 1981 (when they were then known as the Kansas City Kings) and first since the franchise moved to Sacramento.
The Toronto Raptors
won their first playoff series in franchise history with a 3-2 series win over the New York Knicks
, but fell in seven games to the 76ers in the Eastern Conference semifinals. This was also the Knicks last playoff app
The total of number of playoff games in the NBA Playoffs is 72, including the NBA Finals
.
For the first time since 1991, the New York Knicks
failed to win a first round playoff series (losing to the Toronto Raptors 3 games to 2).
clinched the best record in the NBA, and earned home court advantage throughout the entire playoffs. However, when San Antonio lost to the Los Angeles Lakers
in the Western Conference Finals, the Lakers gained home court advantage for the NBA Finals. San Antonio's 58 games remains the lowest record for a team with home court advantage throughout the playoffs, being 3 games fewer than Indiana's 61 games in the 2003-2004 Season and the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2009-2010 Season.
