The most influential game over the weekend was Miami winning Game 3 of their series. While the more difficult task may have been winning Game 2 in Atlanta, coming off that win and winning Game 3 bumped them up to a 60% chance of winning the series from 31.11% before that game. After a team without home court advantage wins Game 2 to tie the series they are likely to lose Game 3 (55.56% chance) even though Game 3 is on their home floor.
Other notes:
- Orlando swings the series back in their favor with a win at Philadelphia
- While New Orleans doesn't improve their odds a whole lot they keep themselves from essentially losing the series since no one has come back in a best-of-7 series in the NBA down 0-3.
- Chicago's exciting win only increases their odds by 7.79%, although a loss would've been devastating. In 5 tries no team without home court advantage has come back down 1-3 after leading 1-0.
- Not statistically interesting, but Cleveland is the first team onto the next round
