The Mavericks refuse to die and hope to be the first to achieve the miracle.
But for that comeback to be “sanctified” there is still a long way to go. Dallas barely won its first game of the Finals and needs three more to turn around the 0-3 deficit in which they found themselves.
No team in history has managed to win the NBA Finals with such a deficit.
64.2 percent were dispatched in four duels, the first obstacle that the Texans avoided last night.
14.2 percent went in five games. Dallas will have to visit the TD Garden on Monday with the idea of avoiding that new obstacle.
As a fact, another 14.2 percent of the franchises that were 0-3 down managed to send the series up to six games… but there they fell, the Supersonics in 1996 against Michael Jordan’s Bulls and the Capitols against the Lakers in 1949.
Only one quintet that had such a disadvantage managed to carry the agony to a seventh and final duel, and that was in 1951, when the New York Knicks surprised by tying the series at 3-3, but in Game 7 they fell 79-75 to the Rochester Royals, currently the Sacramento Kings.
The Royals played at home, at the Edgerton Park Arena in Rochester, on the afternoon of April 21, 1951 in New York State, to avoid the surprise of the Knicks.
