NBA / 21 / 22 / FG / FT / 3PM / TO / BL / STATS

In best-of-seven series since the playoffs expanded to 16 teams in 1984, teams that lose the first two games of the series at home are 4-20 (.167) -- with the exception of the 2020 bubble. That's more than twice the winning percentage of teams that lose the first two games on the road (19-218, .080), arguing against the conventional wisdom that a series doesn't begin until a home team loss.

thats interesting makes sense that being the better regular season team holds more weight than home court especially considering a good chunk of those teams thatre down on the road had no hope to begin with

ya and you do get game 7 at home too

Since 1984 NBA teams in best-of-seven series—

Falling behind 2-0 at home: 4-22

Falling behind 2-0 at home then winning Game 3: 4-8
