Spike Lee is gonna love this one: 95% of teams up 3-1 in an NBA playoff series go on to win that series.

In all of the 288 NBA Playoff instances where a team has led 3–1 in a best-of-seven series, only 13 teams have managed to come back and win the series after trailing 3–1. Only one of those NBA teams had 2016-form LeBron James.

The Knicks went 3-1 in a pivotal Game 4 matchup, and the Pistons barely won Game 5. Tonight, at Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan, the Knicks take on the Pistons for Game 6, where they can seal the deal for advancing to the Eastern Conference Semifinals of the 2025 NBA Playoffs.

If the New York Knicks defeat the Detroit Pistons in their current first-round 2025 NBA playoff series, it would mark their third consecutive appearance in the Eastern Conference Semifinals. With Brunson continuously battling Anthony Davis Syndrome, Knicks fans (myself included) are very concerned about the Detroit Pistons becoming the 14th team to overcome the impossible 3-1 series deficit. The New York Knicks must advance to prove that the acquisition of Karl-Anthony Towns made the Knicks an NBA Finals-caliber team.
