A look at the history the Raptors are up against with their 3-0 comeback attempt against the 76ers
The Raptors are trying to join a pretty exclusive club across sports
The Toronto Raptors are trying to make a little bit of NBA history by becoming the first team in the league to ever come back from a 3-0 deficit. A game 6 win tonight would go a long way for them.
But there’s so much history available to us that says this just will not happen. We’ve seen this so many times.
Teams have taken a 3-0 lead 145 times in the history of the NBA, per Land of Basketball. Obviously, those teams have gone on to win the series each and every time. Only 3 of those games have made it to a Game 7.
So, clearly, the Raptors are facing an uphill battle. But, the thing is, a 3-0 comeback is bound to happen at some point.
If the Raptors were to pull that off, they’d be the 6th team in the history of the major North American sports leagues
