The finals began on Friday 2 August and ended on Saturday 31 August, when the Lakeside Lightning defeated the Wanneroo Wolves in the MSBL Grand Final.
2013 was a milestone year for the State Basketball League as it celebrated 25 years. The regular season began on Friday 15 March, and ended on Saturday 27 July after 20 weeks of competition.
The season commenced with nine games in Round 1, including a rematch of the 2012 MSBL Grand Final with the Cockburn Cougars hosting the East Perth Eagles. After bringing in an additional round in 2012 to lighten the travel load of regional teams and assist with logistics, the 20-round season continued in 2013 with successful results.
The finals began on Friday 2 August and ended on Saturday 31 August with the MSBL Grand Final.
In September 2013, a strong MSBL All-Star Team was compiled to take on the Perth Wildcats in their first pre-season game ahead of the 2013–14 NBL season. The match took place at the WA Basketball Centre on Sunday 8 September.
