- This rare streak happens during a postseason featuring five such comebacks total, the most since digital play-by-play began in 1997.
- The Knicks rallied twice in Boston after trailing by 20 points, while Indiana overcame deficits against Milwaukee and Cleveland to take series leads.
- Key moments include Tyrese Haliburton's late layup with 1.4 seconds for Indiana's 119-118 OT win and a 3-pointer with 1.1 seconds sealing a 120-119 victory.
- These comeback victories suggest an unusually competitive postseason with frequent large deficits erased, marking a historic NBA playoff pattern.
