The No. 1 seed Milwaukee Bucks find themselves in a predicament in the first round of the 2023 NBA playoffs, down 3-1 to the No. 8 seed Miami Heat after a superhuman 56-point showing from Jimmy Butler in Game 4 to give the Heat that 3-1 lead. In NBA postseason history, teams that go up 3-1 in the first round have a 95.2% chance of advancing. A team has come back from a 3-1 deficit just 13 times in playoff history.
We repeat: Teams that go up 3-1 in a best-of-seven series in NBA history are 258-13 … for a winning percentage of .952.
Jimmy Butler's Heat will take a 3-1 lead to Milwaukee for Game 5. https://t.co/R5UsFdDCUg
