Away advantage, NBA playoffs Eastern Conference second round, away teams have won five consecutive games, and it is difficult to win the home team

NBA playoffs continue.

The first to end today was the Eastern Conference matchup. The Cavaliers beat the Pacers 126-104 away, tied the score to 1-2, and still retained hope of advancement.

It is worth mentioning that in the second round of the playoffs, the away team has won five consecutive victories in the East, and the home team is hard to win!

Cavaliers vs Pacers, Pacers won 2 away games, Cavaliers won 1-2 away games, scored 1-2;

Celtics vs Knicks, Knicks had 2 away games, scored 0-2.

And the away team seems to have a bonus to win:

Pacers were away in the second away game, and they were 7 points behind in the last moment, but they tenaciously scored an 8-0 wave to complete the reversal. Halliburton made a foul at the last moment, making a magical two free throws, and then grabbed the frontcourt rebound and completed a three-point kill.

Knicks fell behind 20 points away twice and then completed the reversal. At the last moment, the Celtics collapsed and even ended with a steal.

In fact, even if the first round is counted, the away team's winning rate is not low.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference duel, the Cavaliers 4-0 Heat, the home team and the away team both won 2 wins, 2-2; the Celtics 4-1 Magic, the home team won 4, the away team won 1, 4-1; the Knicks 4-2 Pistons, the home team won 1, 5, 1-5; the Pacers 4-1 Bucks, the home team won 4, 1, 4-1.

In the first round of the Eastern Conference, the comparison between the home team and the away team's record is 11:9, and the home team's winning rate is not necessarily much higher than that of the away team.

In total, the Eastern Conference playoffs have played a total of 25 games, the home team has won 11 games, and the away team has won 14 games, so what's the use of fighting for home advantage in the regular season?

At present, there are up to 4 games in the series of Cavaliers VS Pacers, each of which has 2 home games and 2 away games. The order of the game is Pacers home games, Cavaliers home games, Pacers home games, and Cavaliers home games; while the Celtics VS Knicks still have up to 5 games in the series, the Knicks have 3 home games, and the Celtics have 2 home games.

I still remember that in the 2022-2023 season, the Celtics also had a home advantage. As a result, not only did they say that they were 0-2 at home, but they also lost in the third game, and they were behind 0-3 in the big score, but after that, the Celtics won three games in a row, including winning 2 home games at the Heat and dragging the game into 7.

But when he grabbed 7 at home, the Celtics lost again and were eliminated 3-4, almost creating history. In that round of series, there were 7 games, the home winning rate was very low. The Heat won 1 home game, the Celtics won 1 home game, and the remaining 5 games were all the away team.

The home and away order is the main, host, guest, and host;

and the winning order is the home, host, host, and host.

Maybe the second round of the Eastern Conference this year may be like the Celtics vs. The Heat 2 years ago.

In contrast, although the first game was the away team, the team won the away team in the next three games. The current game is the Timberwolves 1-1 Warriors, the Nuggets 2-1 Thunder, the Nuggets grabbed one away game and defended one home game, and the Warriors grabbed one away game, but it is still unknown whether they can hold two home games. After all, Curry's absence is indeed a big impact.

Tomorrow will be held with Celtics vs Knicks, Timberwolves vs Warriors.
