Who won 2024 NBA title? Boston Celtics' successor will soon be crowned
Who won 2024 NBA title? Boston Celtics' successor will soon be crowned Show Caption Hide Caption Jayson Tatum's Achilles injury has ripple effect on Celtics franchise Jayson Tatum underwent surgery to fix his ruptured Achilles. USA TODAY Sports' Jeff Zillgitt explains the ramifications of the Celtics star's injury. For the seventh consecutive season, there will not be a repeat NBA champion. As the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers prepare to battle for supremacy in 2025, it's worth remembering the team that still reigns until this season's winner is crowned. The Boston Celtics had their back-to-back bid stymied by the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference semifinals, falling in six games. Crucial injuries to several of their star players helped put an end to the Celtics' season -- and could potentially impact the team into next season. Guard Jaylen Brown played down the stretch with a partially torn meniscus in his knee. And forward Jayson Tatum will be sidelined indefinitely after rupturing his Achilles tendon. But the Celtics and their fans can always remember the magic of 2024. Who won the 2024 NBA Finals? The Boston Celtics defeated the Dallas Mavericks in five games to win the 2023-24 NBA championship -- the franchise's record 18th title. However, it was Boston's first in 16 years. Boston had the best regular-season record (64-18) and rolled through the playoffs with a 16-3 record, never needing more than five games to win a series. Jaylen Brown was named the Finals MVP after averaging 20.8 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5.0 assists over the five games vs. Dallas. "It was a joy watching the guys just grow as a team throughout the year but also like really work at it," said Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla, who, at 35 years old, became the youngest coach to win a championship since Boston's Bill Russell in 1969. "There's a group of guys in the locker room that decided they wanted to win day one, and credit to them." 2024 NBA Finals results

Jalen Brunson incredulous over Tom Thibodeau job security question: ‘Come on'
INDIANAPOLIS — Jalen Brunson did not appreciate the question. But it had to be asked. And Brunson didn't leave any gray area in his response. Is Tom Thibodeau the right coach to take this Knicks team to the next level? Advertisement 'Is that a real question right now? You just asked me if I believe he's the right guy,' Brunson said after the Knicks' 125-108 Game 6, season-ending loss to the Pacers on Saturday night at Gainbridge Fieldhouse. 'Yes. Come on.' Thibodeau completed his fifth season with the Knicks, which also marked his most successful with the team. He took over a perennial bottom-feeding franchise and reached the postseason four of his five seasons. Tom Thibodeau reacts during the Knicks' 125-108 season-ending Game 6 loss to the Pacers on May 31, 2025. AP There has been year-over-year improvement nearly every season.

For his own part, Thibodeau believes that next step is within reach. 'There's disappointment because you fall short of what your goal is,' Thibodeau said. 'And in the end there's only going to be one team that achieves the goal. So I think the challenge for us is to look at it for what it is. We finished in the top three. But we're falling short of the ultimate goal. 'For us, it's to use that as motivation and determination to work all summer to prepare ourselves to make the final step to keep improving so we can achieve our goal. I think that's the way we have to approach it and that's the way we have to look at it. It's improvement from last year, but it's ultimately not what our ultimate goal is.'
