“Can the Orlando Magic Break Their Curse? Three Crucial Challenges Standing Between Them and Victory Over the Celtics!”
Boston won 20 more games than Orlando (creating a .244 difference in win percentage) and had a point differential that’s 9.2 points better. The Celtics cruised through most of the season being assured of a top-two seed, while the Magic had to scrap and claw to stay in the top half of the play-in.
Only two teams in NBA history have won a series with a greater win percentage disparity than their opponent. The “We Believe” 2007 Golden State Warriors were 42-40 and beat the 67-15 Dallas Mavericks (a .305 difference) and the 1994 Denver Nuggets were 42-40 and beat the 63-19 Seattle Supersonics (.256 difference).
