Very cool. I only wish I had been able to separate out ABA from NBA series, which is why it doesn't match the WhoWins.com tally, but my data had both leagues mixed. Still quite interesting to see the differences between sports, some of which also probably depend on the series format (2-2-1-1-1 vs 2-3-2) in how often the trailing team can extend to certain game #s.
Great read - do you have the data posted somewhere?
Thank you Ron! Here's the list of teams that were down 0-3: https://pastebin.com/N9AxFdVb
Awesome - thanks! Going to use this in class
