8 NBA Teams That Got Swept In The Finals. The NBA Finals usually feature two of the very best teams in the league unless thereâs some sort of cinderella run. As a result, the biggest games of the year are usually very competitive, leading to long, entertaining seriesâ. On a few occasions that simply hasnât been the case. One team, for a number of reasons, is completely outplayed in those games and is unable to even win one game. Here are the 8 NBA teams who were swept in the Finals.
1 The Magic were eliminated by the Pistons in each of the past two postseasons. 2  The Magic had lost seven straight postseason series before beating the Raptors in the first round last season.  Before this series, the Magic were one of two franchises to have made the NBA Finals but not win a game. (Cavaliers are the other.)
