NBA Update: Almost Certain to be a Warriors/Cavaliers Finals Series

In sharp contrast to the NHL, where both semi-final series are tied at two games apiece, both NBA semi-final series are one sided and almost certainly will produce a Golden State Warriors vs Cleveland Cavaliers finals series.

The Warriors, who at (67-15) easily had the best regular season record, ripped the Houston Rockets, at Houston, to take a commanding (3-0) series lead. The Rockets did stay close in the two Warriors’ home games (games 1 and 2).

No NBA team has ever come back from a (3-0) series deficit and it will not happen in the Golden State/Houston series.

Hence the Warriors will make their first finals appearance since they swept the then Washington Bullets, now known as the Wizards, in the 1975 finals.
