The NBA Finals is a best-of-seven series, meaning it can have a minimum of 4 games and a maximum of 7 games. The team that wins four games first wins the championship. The series format is 2-2-1-1-1, where the team with the better regular-season record hosts Games 1, 2, 5, and 7 (if necessary), and the other team hosts Games 3, 4, and 6 (if necessary).
