No team in NBA history has ever recovered to win a playoff series after trailing 3-0. In fact, only three times has a team even gotten to a Game 7 from a 3-0 deficit, the most recent instance taking place a dozen years ago.
Sobering facts indeed, but ones the New Orleans Pelicans will likely ignore as Game 4 of their first-round series vs. Golden State approaches Saturday (7 p.m., Fox Sports New Orleans, Pelicans Radio Network, ESPN). Unlike most NBA series that feature a 3-0 margin, Pelicans-Warriors has been uniquely competitive. Golden State’s average regulation margin has been just 5.
