Unraveling the Surprising Surge: Why Road Teams Are Dominating the NBA Second Round Like Never Before
It’s highly unlikely the higher-seeded teams will keep shooting almost 20% better behind the arc than their lower-seeded counterparts. This stands to hurt the Knicks the most out of the four lower seeds (they barely escaped from Boston with an overtime victory despite shooting 20.9% better on 3s).
The rest-creating-rust scenario of the NBA playoffs also will stabilize as each of the series progresses and both teams have the same amount of time between games.
Then there’s the rebounding piece of it all. The great thing about it is that rebounding is heavily tied to desire and effort: With enough hard work and will power, any team has the chance to win the battle of the boards.
