High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! This is a list of playoff leaders in the 2000–01 basketball season. The 2001 NBA Playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association`s 2000–01 season. The tournament concluded with the Western Conference champion Los Angeles Lakers winning their second consecutive championship by defeating the Eastern Conference champion Philadelphia 76ers four games to one. This was the 76ers` first appearance in the championship round since Moses Malone and Julius Erving led the 1983 squad to the NBA championship (coincidently, last defeating the Lakers) in the famous "`fo, fo`, fo`" year (which ended up being "fo`, fi`, fo", as Philadelphia lost one second-round game that year). However, this was the Lakers` turn to put together the most dominant postseason in league history, finishing 15–1 with their only setback being an overtime loss to the Sixers in Game one of the championship round. The Lakers set a multitude of playoff records, including going undefeated in both regulation and on the road (finishing an unprecedented 8–0 in the latter category). They were also the first NBA champion to defeat four successive 50-win or better teams on their way to the title. The Milwaukee Bucks were one of the surprise teams of the playoffs, winning a playoff series for the first time since 1989 and advancing to the Eastern Conference finals for the first time since 1986. As of 2008, however, they have been unable to duplicate this feat.
