NBA
The adage I have consistently heard in the NBA postseason is that a seven-game series doesn’t truly start until a road team wins.
That’s 100% true in Games 1 and 2, since those are underdogs trying to leverage home court advantage.
Because later in a series, a road team winning could be the death knell in the series rather than the starting point.
