The conventional wisdom is it is always better to have home-court advantage through the NBA Finals. Sometimes obtaining the top seed, holding it and advancing through the opponents that spot produces can create unintended and unwelcome results, as the Boston Celtics discovered in the 2022 NBA Finals.
