NBA playoff division semi-finals are in full swing, but the teams who have played at home have lost the six games that have ended! The Thunder 0:1 Nuggets, the Timberwolves 0:1 Warriors, and the Cavaliers and Celtics, the top two in the East, were all behind 0:2 at home.

The four teams in G1 who played at home lost, which is the first time in history! As a result, G began, and the situation of the home team's ineffectiveness still did not reverse!

Cavaliers were 7 points ahead of the last 45 seconds and were magically defeated by Halliburton 1+3, while the Celtics were once again reversed by the Knicks when they were more than 20 points ahead. The two teams in the top two in the Eastern Conference both encountered 0:2 at home, and they will go away next.

Since the implementation of the 7-game 4-win system, there have been 35 games in history in the first two games of the series 2:0, of which 30 teams won the series. The visiting team leads 2:0 and the final promotion probability is as high as 85.7%.

In history, only 5 teams have reversed when they were behind 0:2 at home, and only one team finally won the championship!

The Celtics, who are determined to defend the title and the Cavaliers, are now losing two consecutive games at home, and they all hope to be the sixth or even the seventh team to make a big comeback. But from the historical perspective, it is really difficult for them to advance to the Eastern Conference!

The away team that played seventh in the second round was 48 points behind in the first three quarters, and the home team should finally win! ! !
