Unraveling the Surprising Surge: Why Road Teams Are Dominating the NBA Second Round Like Never Before
The games are intense and the amount of time between them can be sparse. That’s why ending a series quickly can be very beneficial because a team can rest players as it waits for the next opponent.
That hasn’t been the case this time.
This doesn’t apply as much for the Pacers’ Game 2 win over the Cavaliers, but otherwise, the four home teams had more rest than their opponent following first-round series.
Basically, rest turned into rust for the higher-seeded teams, which may have contributed to the poor shooting displays in Game 1.
