Game seven (NBA)
[edit]- Game 7 (NBA)
- List of National Basketball Association game seven's
- List of NBA game sevens
- Game seven (NBA)
- Game seven (NBA playoffs)
In the NBA Playoffs, 15 total best-of-seven series are played (eight comprise round one; four comprise round two; two comprise round three; and one comprise the NBA Finals to determine the NBA Champion). Today, sixteen total teams take part in the playoffs. When a team is defeated (by losing 4 games either consecutively or non-consecutively) in a best-of-seven series, that team is eliminated from the playoffs. Although several game sevens can be played in each years playoffs, some playoff seasons may never see a game seven (e.g. 1949, 1950, 1953, 1956, 1958, 1967, 1972, 1983, 1985, 1989, 1991, and 1999).
With that in mind, only about 20% of best-of-seven series in the NBA ever reach the full seven games. Whether or not a game seven is necessary can never be known until the outcome of game six is determined. In other words, game seven of a series is the only game in a best-of-seven series that can never be guaranteed in advance. Game seven is historically played in the arena of the team holding home-court advantage for the series.
Below is a list of all best-of-seven series results in the NBA playoffs. Franchise appearing in its first game seven is identified with a "1; home team in bold.
