Visiting teams go 4-0 in game 1 of the conference semi-final for the first time in the current format

Street, sweet road.

Home advantage? So far there are no in the semi -finals of the NBA Conference where visiting teams in game 1 went 4-0.

Indiana defeated on Sunday at the start of this East series Cleveland with the top seed Cleveland, New York defeated the defending champion Boston and Denver on Monday in their respective starts in the respective starting of Oklahoma City in West Samen.

“It is an amazing group of boys,” said Warriors coach Steve Kerr after the victory of Golden State, who was equipped with Stephen Curry for a large part of the game with a tense armpit ham.

So far, 23-25 ​​Road teams have gone in these playoffs. This is at the pace of being the third best overall record of the street playoffs in the NBA's post-season history without counting the bubble season from 2020 when there was nobody at home.

The road teams were 3-1 on three other occasions in the second openers of the NBA Playoffs 2023, 2015 and 2011-in-in-current playoff format, which dates until 1984.

But so far 4-0 has never happened.

“I always say that a playoff series only starts when someone wins a street game,” said Tyrese Haliburton by Indiana Guard. “Well, we won two.”

That's right: Indiana doubled his road success by also taking in Cleveland in Cleveland on Tuesday evening, shortly before Golden State Stephen Curry lost, but won game 1 in Minnesota.

And all of this led to even more street history: Sunday, Monday and Tuesday was the first three-day route in the NBA Playoff story, in which the visiting teams scored at least 6: 0. This run started on Sunday with Indiana's game 1 victory in Cleveland, then in the first round of the playoffs in Houston in Houston.

The victories of New York and Denver were Monday, then Indiana and Golden State won again on Tuesday.

“This team fought all year round,” said Knick's coach Tom Thibodeau. “It was a pretty good street team.”

You are not alone. Not this year anyway, and this trend did not start in these playoffs. The home teams won 54% of the games in the regular season, the fourth time that the League's home profit has dropped so low in the past five years.
