LeBron James and co breezed through the Western Conference side of the playoff bracket on their way to the 2020 NBA Finals, ending each of their series in five games. On the other hand, the Miami Heat dominated the Eastern Conference field in nearly identical fashion. The Heat only dropped four games over the course of their postseason run, most notably sending the top-seeded Bucks home in a five-game series. The Heat knocked off Boston Celtics in the Eastern Conference Finals in six games to book their spot in the NBA Finals.
