The Warriors pursuit of history continues with Monday night’s Game 7 against a Thunder team looking to shake off two missed opportunities to close out this Western Conference Finals. Here are the top stats to know ahead of Monday night’s series decider.
History is on the Warriors side…except when it isn’t
The good news for the Warriors: home teams are 100-24 in Game 7s all-time and the top-seeded team is 28-3 in home Game 7s.
Also in the Warriors favor? Teams with the MVP on the team are 26-5 all-time in Game 7s, with 17 straight wins.
So that’s the good. The bad? Teams to have trailed 3-1 in the Conference Finals have lost 25 straight series.
The Warriors are also the seventh defending champion in NBA history to win Game 6 on the road when facing elimination. That momentum hasn’t always equaled a series win as the three previous defending champs to do it all lost in Game 7.
Teams to trail 3-1 in postseason series are 9-223 in NBA postseason history, a win percentage of 0.039. The last team to overcome such a deficit was the Rockets in the Conference Semifinals last season against the Clippers.
