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.
