It was the Heat's third consecutive NBA Finals appearance, the first Eastern Conference team to achieve that since the Chicago Bulls (1996–1998).

This series was also the first time San Antonio had played in the NBA Finals without home court advantage, as Miami had home-court advantage based on their league-best regular season record of 66–16 compared to the Spurs' 58–24. The Spurs had won all of their previous four finals appearances, putting them only behind the six-time champion Chicago Bulls for most titles without ever losing a Finals, making this series the first Finals loss in Spurs history. This series marked the fifth time the Spurs have made the NBA Finals since 1999, second-most for any franchise in that span behind the Los Angeles Lakers. The finals began with Game 1 on June 6, and ended with Game 7 on June 20.

The Heat were favored to repeat as champions over the Spurs. In the best-of-seven series, the defending NBA Champion and Eastern Conference champion Miami Heat defeated the Western Conference champion San Antonio Spurs in seven games to win their second consecutive title.

The 2013 NBA Finals was the championship series of the National Basketball Association's (NBA) 2012–13 season and the conclusion of the season's playoffs.
