The Playoff Up 3-0 Choke

I saw this in the Boston Globe this morning and thought I would share. These are the statistics on going up 3-0 in a playoff series only to lose.

  • MLB Baseball – 31 series since 1903, only 1 comeback (3.2%)
  • NHL Hockey – 163 series since 1919, 3 comebacks (1.8%)
  • NBA Basketball – 93 series since 1947, 0 comebacks (0.0%)
