2003 Blazers, last to tie series after trailing 0-3
his story Playoffs in the nba it is rich and wide. So much so that there are past minutes of anything. Also for a team that won a run after being down 3-0?
Below is the answer to that question as well as the teams that managed to force a seventh game.
How many teams have come back from 3-0 down in the NBA playoffs?
The answer is zero. No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in NBA playoff history.
How many teams forced a game 7 to go 3-0 in the playoffs?
New York Knicks 1950-1951
The first precedent occurs in what was simply the fifth season in league history (and second with the name of the NBA), making it no less than the End of that year 1951.
The New York Knicks they opened the series with three straight losses to the Rochester Royals, unable to contain the inside game of Arnie Risen, who scored 24, 19 and 27 points in the first three games. The Finals seemed decided in favor of the Royals, but New York’s response came: a 79-73 home win in the fourth, a 92-89 road triumph in the fifth and another celebration in the sixth, this time 80-73. . From 0-3 to 3-3, with Max Zaslowski a big benchmark for New York’s response.
The story was served for a seventh meeting in Rochester, where the Royals avoided disaster: they took advantage from the first quarter and in an extremely even process ended up prevailing 79-75 with 24 points from Risen and 20 from Bob Davies.
The final was the first of three straight losses by the Knicks: in 1952 they lost to the Lakers (again in seven games) and in 1953 they repeated the loss to the Minneapolis team, this time in five games.
Denver Nuggets 1993-1994
To find the next previous one you have to travel 43 years later and focus on one of the most epic teams in Playoff history: the 1994 postseason Nuggets.
And it is that this team led by Dan Issel first made history in the First Round, becoming the first eighth sorted to eliminate a first (Seattle SuperSonics) and he also does it with a comeback 0-2 to 3-2 (then the First Round was played in five games).
The magic of that team of Dikembe Mutombo, Mahmoud Abdul-Rauf, Reggie Williams, LaPhonso Ellis and company seemed to continue in the West semifinals: they opened with three straight losses against a contender like Utah Jazzbut they went 3-3 with wins of 83-82 in the fourth, 109-101 in the fifth and 94-91 in the sixth.
All the pressure was on the Jazz in the seventh, but Salt Lake City knew how to handle it: 91-81 win with 31 points from Karl Malone to cap off an unforgettable run by this Nuggets team.
Portland Trail Blazers 2002-2003
The most recent precedent is the only one set at a Round 1 intersection. The reference is for the range between Dallas Mavericks and Portland Trail Blazers since 2003.
Led by Dirk Nowitzki (37.6 ppg in first three games) the Mavs took a 3-0 lead without much trouble and it looked like the end for that particular Portland roster, which combined several disruptive figures like Zach Randolph, Bonzi Wells, Rasheed Wallace and Damon Stoudamire, along with other veterans like Arvydas Sabonis and Scottie Pippen.
However, the Blazers dominated the fourth game 98-79, prevailed in the fifth 103-99 and were much better in the sixth, winning it 125-103. What happened in the seventh in Dallas? Dirk was back to his most dominant self, finishing with 31 points and 11 rebounds as the Mavericks closed out the series 107-95.

“I’m here. Don’t ask me that question. It’s disrespectful to me and my teammates. I wear this jersey every day.
To say I don’t want to be here is disrespectful to the organization, the coaching staff, myself and everyone who worked hard to get me on the field. Don’t ask me this question. I am her. I’m going out in this uniform. And as long as I’m here, I’ll give it my all until the last second of the match.”
