How to watch NBA Finals games in India: Full TV schedule, live streams for 2022 season image

The NBA Finals are finally here. 

After 82 regular-season games and three grueling rounds of the playoffs, the last two teams standing are the Warriors and Celtics, who each took quite different paths to this point. While the Warriors dismantled the Mavericks in five games in the Western Conference Finals, the Celtics needed seven games and three road victories to get past the Heat in the Eastern Conference Finals.

Now, Golden State and Boston are set to battle for the ultimate prize: the Larry O'Brien Trophy.

Led by Stephen Curry, Draymond Green and Klay Thompson, the Warriors are in search of their fourth title in eight years while the Celtics, who are led by the young duo of Jayson Tatum and Jaylen Brown, seek the 18th NBA title in franchise history.

With plenty on the line, here is everything you need to know about how to watch the NBA Finals in India this year.
