When it comes to recovering from an 0-2 deficit in the NBA Finals and successfully winning that best-of-seven series, Kyrie Irving has been there, done that.
And that gives the Dallas Mavericks a lot of hope as they attempt to win a series against the Boston Celtics with the odds heavily stacked against them.
Thanks to Sunday’s gritty 105-98 win over Dallas in Boston, the Celtics own an advantageous 2-0 lead over the Mavs in this best-of-seven series. Teams are just 5-31 all-time in the NBA Finals when they trail 2-0, in a best-of-seven series.
