The old saying goes, “A series doesn’t start until a team wins on the road.”
Well, in the first round of the NBA Playoffs, if the road team doesn’t at least split the first two games in the series, the series is typically over.
According to Matt Moore of The Action Network, teams with home court are 89-5 in the series when they win the first two games of the series.
Teams with homecourt advantage up 2-0 are 89-5 in first-round overall series results.
Following three Game 2’s on Monday that saw the home team win, are those teams near locks to advance?
