Box scoreMATCHUP COVERAGEMeetings since 2019-20
Meetings since 2019-20 (NBA), from each held season's schedule as Sport Data Service holds it. Not an all-time head-to-head.
Records count finals more than 6 hours old, the regular season and the playoffs apart; a fresher final is listed as provisional and a final whose score is not verified is listed, never counted. Preseason and Cup final meetings are listed, tagged, never counted.
Sport Data Service does not hold NBA play-in games or NBA Cup finals (observed 2026-10-19), so no such meeting is listed or counted here.
It also lacks some single games, such as neutral-site and Cup games (8 dates; each date's games page names them): if these two teams met on one of them, that meeting is missing here.
2019-20: box scores incomplete.
