Have you ever been struck by lightning? I haven’t. I don’t actually know anyone personally that ever has. Have you ever seen the most insane combination of closing moments of games that involve three different NBA playoff teams, putting your team up against an unlikely foe? I have.
According to National Geographic, your odds of getting struck by lightning in your lifetime is about 1 in 700,000. The odds of the Rockets and Jazz meeting in the first round of the playoffs (at some point last night, and taking into account certain points of games Tuesday night), were 1 in 898,957, according to math genius Andy Larsen of the Salt Lake Tribune.
