The first round format was also changed from best-of-3 to best-of 5. </p><p>It was the first NBA Finals meeting between the Celtics and Lakers since <a href="/wiki/1969_NBA_Finals" title="1969 NBA Finals">1969</a>; they met 7 times in the Finals from 1959 to 1969, with Boston coming out on top each year. Going into the 1984 playoffs, the Lakers had already won 2 titles in the 1980s and the Celtics 1, making the revival of the <a href="/wiki/Celtics%E2%80%93Lakers_rivalry" title="Celtics–Lakers rivalry">Celtics–Lakers rivalry</a> arguably inevitable and certainly highly anticipated. </p><p>Two teams made their playoff debuts and won their first playoff series: the <a href="/wiki/Utah_Jazz" title="Utah Jazz">Utah Jazz</a> (who joined the NBA for the <a href="/wiki/1974%E2%80%9375_NBA_season" title="1974–75 NBA season">1974–75 season</a> as the New Orleans Jazz) and <a href="/wiki/Dallas_Mavericks" title="Dallas Mavericks">Dallas Mavericks</a>, a <a href="/wiki/1980%E2%80%9381_NBA_season" title="1980–81 NBA season">1980</a> expansion team.

This was also the only time the road team won every game in a five-game playoff series. The Nets would not win a playoff series again until <a href="/wiki/2002_NBA_playoffs" title="2002 NBA playoffs">2002</a>. </p><p>This was the final postseason appearance for the <a href="/wiki/Kansas_City_Kings" class="mw-redirect" title="Kansas City Kings">Kansas City Kings</a>, as the team moved to <a href="/wiki/Sacramento,_California" title="Sacramento, California">Sacramento, California</a> <a href="/wiki/1985%E2%80%9386_NBA_season" title="1985–86 NBA season">two seasons later</a>. <a href="/wiki/Kemper_Arena" class="mw-redirect" title="Kemper Arena">Kemper Arena</a> hosted its final NBA playoff game. </p><p>The <a href="/wiki/Kingdome" title="Kingdome">Kingdome</a> also hosted its final NBA playoff game, as the <a href="/wiki/Seattle_SuperSonics" title="Seattle SuperSonics">Seattle SuperSonics</a> moved back full-time to the <a href="/wiki/Climate_Pledge_Arena" title="Climate Pledge Arena">Seattle Center Coliseum</a> two years later. However, the Kingdome continued to host Sonics regular season games on occasion until <a href="/wiki/1993%E2%80%9394_NBA_season" title="1993–94 NBA season">1994</a>. </p><p>The 1984 playoffs also involved two of the hottest games in NBA history. Game 5 of the First Round between the Knicks and Pistons was played at <a href="/wiki/Joe_Louis_Arena" title="Joe Louis Arena">Joe Louis Arena</a>, as the <a href="/wiki/Pontiac_Silverdome" title="Pontiac Silverdome">Pontiac Silverdome</a> was unavailable, with temperatures reaching as high as 120°. Game 5 of the NBA Finals between the Celtics and Lakers at <a href="/wiki/Boston_Garden" title="Boston Garden">Boston Garden</a> reached temperatures as high as 100°, as the Garden lacked air-conditioning, coupled with the sweltering outdoors conditions in Boston. </p><p>This is the last postseason of using the 2-2-1-1-1 format of the NBA Finals until 2014; the 1985 NBA Finals was changed to the 2-3-2 format the next season. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Bracket">Bracket</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span
