No team has ever come back from a 3-0 deficit in a playoff series. The 1951 New York Knickerbockers, the 1994 Denver Nuggets, and the 2003 Portland Trailblazers came back from a 3-0 deficit to tie the series at 3-3, but neither won their respective Game 7.

Eight teams, however, have rallied back from a 3-1 deficit. Those include:

  1. 1968 Boston Celtics
  2. 1970 LA Lakers
  3. 1979 Washington Bullets
  4. 1981 Boston Celtics
  5. 1995 Houston Rockets
  6. 1997 Miami Heat
  7. 2003 Detroit Pistons
  8. 2006 Phoenix Suns

Another playoff tidbit

Many more teams have come back from a 2-0 deficit, but that is much more common.
