High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The 1969 NBA Playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association's 1968-1969 season. The tournament concluded with the Eastern Conference champion Boston Celtics defeating the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers, four games to three in the NBA Finals. Despite finishing in 4th place, the Celtics won their second consecutive NBA championship, marking their 11th overall as their era of 1960s dominance drew to a close. They upset Philadelphia and the Knicks on the way to the finals. Out west, the San Francisco Warriors stunned the Lakers by winning the first two games in L.A., and Bay Area fans were thinking of avenging the prior year's sweep by the Lakers with a sweep of their own. But the Lakers won 4 straight to win the series in 6. This year marked the debut of the Bill Russell NBA Finals Most Valuable Player Award; it was awarded to Jerry West of the Lakers, which marks the only time, thus far, that the trophy has been given to a player on the losing team.
