    Default When was the last time a team went home with a 3-2 lead and lost the series?

    Wondering how often that happens when a team steals Game 5 on the road and come home to close out the series and end up losing two in a row?

    Anyone remember the last time this happened?

    Spurs never went home with a 3-2 lead. Game 6 was in Miami.

    Nets/Pistons in 2004

    Remember in game 5 when Billups hit that halfcourt buzzer beater to send it to OT but the Nets still won the game?

    Damm learned something new today, never knew the Hawks stole a game in Boston. I see the Hawks lost Game 6 102-100 and wondering was it a last second shot by Bird or Dennis Johnson

    This happened at least twice in 2014 alone--Pacers-Hawks and Thunder-Grizzlies. It's oftentimes just a product of a wake-up call for HCA teams that coasted out of the gates and has just had an absolute sense of urgency instilled in them.
