# NBA 1989/90

Die NBA-Saison 1989/90 war die 44. Saison der National Basketball Association. Meister wurden wie auch schon im Jahr zuvor die Detroit Pistons, indem sie die Portland Trail Blazers im Finale mit 4:1 besiegten.

## Saisonnotizen

* Die Minnesota Timberwolves und die Orlando Magic kamen als 26. und 27. Franchise in die NBA.
* Alle Teams aus Texas erreichten die Playoffs. Dies geschah erst wieder 2004.
* Das All-Star-Game fand in Miami, Florida statt. Das Team der Eastern Conference gewann mit 130:113 gegen das Team der Western Conference.
* Nach 37 Jahren Amtszeit gab Johnny Most seinen Job als Radiosprecher der Boston Celtics ab. Sein Radiokommentar "Havlicek stole the ball!!" in den Eastern Conference Finals 1965 war zur Legende geworden.
* Zum neunten Mal in Folge erreichten die Los Angeles Lakers als Mannschaft mit der besten Bilanz in der Western Conference die Play-offs. Dies sollte ihnen in der Folge erst 2000 wieder gelingen.
