These are the 2 teams that battled for the final ABA Championship!

After the ABA's first year (1967-68), the troubled New Jersey Americans franchise moved to Long Island and became the New York Nets.

The 1975–76 season would be the ABA’s last, and the Nets made it count. Julius Erving, now at the height of his powers, averaged over 29 points per game and won his third league MVP award.

The Nets finished with a 55–29 record and once again battled through the playoffs, defeating the San Antonio Spurs in the semifinals and the Denver Nuggets in a six-game Finals series.

Erving was brilliant, averaging 37.7 points in the Finals, and once again took home Playoffs MVP honors. It was the second ABA title for the Nets—and the last ABA championship ever awarded.

The 1975-1976 ABA playoffs concluded with the New York Nets defeating the San Antonio Spurs four games to two in the ABA Finals. This was the final year of the ABA, and the ABA-NBA merger took place on June 17, 1976. The final game in ABA history was played on May 13, 1976, when the Nets defeated the Nuggets 112-106 at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, New York. Julius Erving of the Nets was the Most Valuable Player of the ABA playoffs, having previously won that distinction in 1974. The Spurs, however, did not win a single ABA playoff series after joining the NBA, winning four NBA championships.
