1986 NBA Finals (original) (raw)
- The 1986 NBA Finals was the championship round of the National Basketball Association (NBA)'s 1985–86 season, and the culmination of the season's playoffs. It pitted the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics against the Western Conference champion Houston Rockets, in a rematch of the 1981 NBA Finals (though only Allen Leavell and Robert Reid remained from the Rockets' 1981 team). It was the second and last NBA Championship Series of the 1980s not to feature the Los Angeles Lakers, who were eliminated by the Rockets on both occasions. The heavily favored Celtics defeated the Rockets four games to two to win their 16th NBA championship. The championship would be the Celtics' last until 2008. Larry Bird was named the Finals MVP. On another note, this series marked the first time the "NBA Finals" branding was officially used, as they dropped the "NBA World Championship Series" branding which had been in use since the beginning of the league, though it had been unofficially called the "NBA Finals" for years. Until the 2011 series, this was the last time the NBA Finals had started before June. Since game three, all NBA Finals games have been played in June. Starting with the following year, the NBA Finals would be held exclusively in the month of June. It was also the last NBA Finals series to schedule a game on a Monday until 1999 and also the last NBA Finals game to be played on Memorial Day. Until the 2018 series, it was the last to conclude before June 10. CBS Sports used Dick Stockton and Tom Heinsohn as the play-by-play man and color commentator respectively. Meanwhile, Brent Musburger was the host and Pat O'Brien (the Rockets' sideline) and Lesley Visser (the Celtics' sideline) were the sideline reporters. (en)
- Las Finales de la NBA de 1986 fueron las series definitivas de los playoffs de 1986 y suponían la conclusión de la temporada 1985-86 de la NBA, con victoria de Boston Celtics, campeón de la Conferencia Este, sobre Houston Rockets, campeón de la Conferencia Oeste. Los Celtics ganaron en seis partidos a los Rockets y se alzaron con su decimosexto campeonato. Larry Bird fue nombrado MVP de las Finales. Estas fueron las primeras series denominadas como "Finales de la NBA", en vez del "Campeonatos del Mundo de la NBA" utilizado desde los comienzos de la liga. (es)
- Les finales NBA 1986 sont la dernière série de matchs de la saison 1985-1986 de la NBA et la conclusion des séries éliminatoires (playoffs) de la saison. Les champions de la conférence Est, les Celtics de Boston rencontrent le champion de la conférence Ouest les Rockets de Houston. C'est la première fois que cette série utilise l'image de marque de NBA Finals à la place de NBA Championnat du Monde qui avait été en usage depuis le début de la ligue. C'est la dernière fois jusqu'aux Finales 2011 que la série débute avant juin. À partir de l'année suivante les finales NBA se déroulent exclusivement durant le mois de juin. C'était aussi la dernière série finale de la NBA à programmer un match le lundi jusqu'aux Finales 1999 et aussi la dernière finale NBA à être jouée le jour du Memorial Day. Les matchs sont télévisés sur CBS Sports et commentés par Dick Stockton (Houston) et Tom Heinsohn (Boston). L'entraineur des Rockets Bill Fitch connait très bien l'équipe de Boston. Il a en effet conduit les Celtics, comme entraineur, au titre NBA 1981 avec K.C. Jones comme entraineur adjoint, qui est devenu entraineur des Celtics à son départ. Dans cette équipe 1981 figuraient déjà Larry Bird, Kevin McHale et Robert Parish. Les Celtics de Boston gagnent cette série quatre victoires à deux, remportant ainsi leur seizième titre depuis 1957. Il leur faudra attendre 22 ans pour en remporter un dix-septième. Larry Bird est une nouvelle fois élu meilleur joueur des finales. Réalisant ainsi son second doublé, après celui de 1984, MVP en saison régulière et MVP en finales. Cette série finale voit s'affronter sur le plancher sept joueurs qui seront intronisés au Basketball Hall of Fame : Larry Bird, Kevin McHale, Bill Walton, Robert Parish, Dennis Johnson pour les Celtics et Hakeem Olajuwon, Ralph Sampson pour les Rockets ainsi que K.C. Jones (intronisé comme joueur) entraineur des Celtics. Deux autres Hall of Famers des Celtics sont présents : Red Auerbach, président des Celtics et Tom Heinsohn qui commente les matchs à Boston pour CBS Sports. (fr)
