What do the numbers say?
Ready. Set. Game 7.
In the last 20 years, there have only been three NBA Finals that have gone to seven games: the 2013 Heat vs. Spurs, the 2010 Lakers vs. Celtics, and the 2005 Spurs vs. Pistons.
So many great players never played in a Game 7. Michael Jordan. Shaquille O’Neal. John Stockton. Karl Malone. Charles Barkley.
Tonight, we will see something truly special. So, what can we look out for?
First, we can expect below average scoring. In the last three NBA Finals Game 7s, scoring has not come easily.
