61 points, 40 rebounds, 21 assists, 7 breaks and 9 hats! A list of the top 5 big data in the NBA Finals, no one on the list at the current service

Basketball

Although the 2025 Finals have just begun, the Pacers have set their own record. They have become the only team that can still reverse the finals by 9+ points in the last 3 minutes since 1971. As the star of the game, Halliburton became the first player in NBA history to overtake the final quasi-winning final in less than 5 seconds in a single season playoff game with his last quasi-winning final kick.

Of course, not only Halliburton had outstanding performance in this round of series, but also Alexander, his personal performance was also outstanding. He has scored 72 points in the combined 2 games. Considering that the strength gap between the two sides is not big, there may be more records in the subsequent series. Then we will take stock of the five big data in the history of the NBA Finals. As of now, these records are difficult to break again.

Score: 61 points

Creator: Elgin Baylor

As one of the most tragic stars in his NBA career, although Baylor led the Lakers to the Finals many times in the NBA's 14 seasons, he never won the championship trophy in his hand. Moreover, most of the time, Baylor's performance in the finals was impeccable. He led the Lakers to the finals in the rookie season. That year, he averaged 22.8 points and 11.8 rebounds per game against the Celtics, but the team was swept in the end. After the Lakers moved to Los Angeles in the 1960-1961 season, they reached the finals again under Baylor's leadership. This time their opponent was the Hawks. In this round of the series, Baylor played an outstanding performance than before. In 7 games, he averaged 37.1 points and 15.6 rebounds per game, but the team still failed to laugh to the end.

Immediately afterwards, the Lakers made the finals for the second consecutive year in 1962. This time, their opponent was replaced by the Celtics. In this round of the series, Baylor averaged 40.6 points per game and set a career record, but the team still lost to the opponent. During the G5 series, Baylor also set a record for players in the history of the finals. In that game, he scored 61 points and 22 rebounds to help the team get the first to win the series match point.

Rebound: 40

Creator: Bill Russell

Also a superstar in the ancient NBA era, Bill Russell is better at defense than Chamberlain, who is better at scoring, and the Celtics, who built the team around him, have won 11 championships, and during this period they even had eight consecutive championships. Russell in the finals has also performed many outstandingly, and he has also performed 20+20+5 per game in the series.

And the year he defeated Baylor's Lakers in 1962 to win the championship, Russell played a super dominant force in the finals, averaging 22.9 points, 27 rebounds and 5.7 assists in the series. With the Celtics trailing 2-3, Russell broke out in the last two games. He first scored 19 points, 24 rebounds and 10 assists in G6 to help the team drag the series into a tiebreak. Russell then scored 30 points and 4 rebounds in G7 to lead the Celtics to end the series. At the same time, 40 rebounds in a single game also set a record for the finals. Although there were super giant insiders such as Jabbar and O'Neal in the league, they never replicated this feat.

Assist: 21 times

Creator: Magic Johnson

When it comes to assists, the first thing people think of is the point guard. As the greatest point guard in NBA history, the Magic's performance in this area is naturally at the historical level. The Magicians in the playoffs sent a total of 2,346 assists, ranked first in history, and 584 assists were all from the Finals. This data is also a unique position in NBA history. James, who currently ranks second in history in the Finals, has only 430 assists.

Then on the stage of the 1984 Finals, the Magic also set a record of single-game assists in the finals, which was in the G3 of the series. In this game, he faced the Celtics' iron-blooded defense. While scoring 14 points and 11 rebounds in the game, he also gave 21 assists. Therefore, he not only set a record of single-game assists, but also became the first player in NBA history to score a triple-double in the Finals.

It is also worth mentioning that under the Magician's connection, the Lakers also scored a high score of 137 points. In the end, they were able to defeat their opponents by 33 points and won the game. Unfortunately, the Celtics finally laughed in this round of the series.

Stealing: 7 times

Creator: Horry

As the only non-All-star player on this list, although Horry is not a star, he was a real team that every championship team wants to have at his peak. Therefore, he played in the NBA for 16 seasons and won 7 championships. Horry won the first championship with the Rockets. In the 1994 Finals, he averaged 10.3 points, 6.1 rebounds, 3.7 assists and 1.3 steals per game.

Then in 1995, Horry also successfully helped the Rockets defend their title. In this round of series, he averaged 17.8 points, 10 rebounds, 3.8 assists, 3 steals and 2.3 blocks per game. The best defensive performance in Horry in this round of the series was in G2. In addition to scoring a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, he also sent 7 steals and 2 blocks, including 7 steals in a single game, which also set a record for a single game in the finals.

Blocks: 9 times

Creator: Howard

Finally, it was blocked. This record was set by Howard, a former three-time DPOY winner. At his peak, he was the league's number one center. Under his leadership, the Magic also became the top team in the East.. In the 2009 playoffs, Howard helped the Magic defeat powerful opponents Celtics and Cavaliers, and then they reached the finals again after 14 years.

However, in the finals, the Magic was beaten so hard that they had no power to fight back. In the end, the opponent won the championship in just 5 games. Howard can average 15.4 points, 15.2 rebounds, 2.2 assists, 1.6 steals and 4 blocks in this round of the series. Among them, 4 of the series was his best game. In this game, he scored 16 points, 21 rebounds, 9 blocks, with a quasi-triple double-double, but the Magic lost the game in the end.
