There have been just three game 7's in the NBA Finals since the NBA went to a 2-3-2 Finals format in 1985. Earlier today, I posted the first one (from 1988). Here is the most recent one; here is ABC's intro to 2005's game 7 of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Detroit Pistons. The Spurs prevailed 81-74 to claim their third NBA title of the Tim Duncan era, with Duncan winning Finals MVP for the third time, joining Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal as the only NBA players to win the award three or more times in their career.
