Lakers are in trouble. They got a peak Ayton game (18/17), a good 41-yo Lebron game (25/7), solid contributions from Rui (12/4) and Smart (11/5) and Reaves' 12/13 from the stripe and still lost.

Kinda crazy how rare is the instance of even forcing a Game 7 from 0-3 down in a series.

OKC was a WCF roadblock that year too. Getting interesting here.

ESPN used Brandon Roy in that graphic and he wasn't even drafted until 2006 lol. And Portland lost to Dallas that year, not Denver


Dynamite research team they got over there at ESPN

2014 IIRC has quite a number of 1st round series going game 7.

I remember the late Craig Sager was hospitalized and his son was donating an organ to him. While hospitalized, Craig mentioned that he was very thankful that there were many series going game 6, game 7 which helped him stay occupied.

Yep; I bet you a lot of this is AI-hallicunated info that goes unchecked to the graph-media producers. Take me back to the 'Elias Sports Bureau' stats days.
