The 1953 NBA Playoffs was the postseason tournament of the National Basketball Association's 1952–53 season. The tournament concluded with the Western Conference champion Minneapolis Lakers defeating the Eastern Conference champion New York Knicks 4 games to 1 in the NBA Finals. The Lakers won their fourth championship in the last five years, and defeated the Knicks in the Finals for the second straight season to complete their run. The Indianapolis Olympians played their last game, a Game 2 loss to the Lakers in the first round. They folded at the end of the season, and major professional basketball did not return to Indianapolis, Indiana until the Indiana Pacers were founded for the inaugural 1967–68 season of the American Basketball Association. The Boston Celtics earned their first playoff series victory with a two-game sweep of the Syracuse Nationals. The 1952–53 Baltimore Bullets hold the distinction of having the worst regular season record heading in playoff history. The team's record was 16–54. ==Western Division== Champion: Minneapolis Lakers Division Semifinals (1) Minneapolis Lakers vs. (4) Indianapolis Olympians: ''Lakers win series 2–0'' *Game 1 @ Minneapolis: Minneapolis 85, Indianapolis 69 *Game 2 @ Indianapolis: Minneapolis 81, Indianapolis 79 Last Playoff Meeting: 1952 Western Division Semifinals (Minneapolis won 2–0) (2) Rochester Royals vs. (3) Fort Wayne Pistons: ''Pistons win series 2–1'' *Game 1 @ Rochester: Fort Wayne 84, Rochester 77 *Game 2 @ Fort Wayne: Rochester 83, Fort Wayne 71 *Game 3 @ Rochester: Fort Wayne 67, Rochester 65 Last Playoff Meeting: 1952 Western Division Semifinals (Rochester won 2–0) Division Finals (1) Minneapolis Lakers vs. (3) Fort Wayne Pistons: ''Lakers win series 3–2'' *Game 1 @ Minneapolis: Minneapolis 83, Fort Wayne 73 *Game 2 @ Minneapolis: Minneapolis 82, Fort Wayne 75 *Game 3 @ Fort Wayne: Fort Wayne 98, Minneapolis 95 *Game 4 @ Fort Wayne: Fort Wayne 85, Minneapolis 82 *Game 5 @ Minneapolis: Minneapolis 74, Fort Wayne 58 Last Playoff Meeting: 1950 Central Division Finals (Minneapolis won 2–0) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「1953 NBA Playoffs」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
