Milwaukee Bucks vs Philadelphia 76ers Schedule and 2001 Results OVERALL SUBSTANCE: Philadelphia wins WLLWWLW: SERIES NOTES: Game 7: Philadelphia defeats Milwaukee 108-pts-91 to win series 842; Philadelphia improves its best-of-7 Semis series record to 6-6 (4-3 when Game 1 is at home), while Milwaukee has its best-of-7 Semis series record fall to 2-6 (0-6 when Game 1 is on the road -- this 0-6 record is the worst best-of-7 NHL, NBA, or MLB franchise Semis series record when Game 1 is on the road); Philadelphia improves its best-of-7 Semis Game 7 record to 2-3 (1-1 at home), while Milwaukee has its best-of-7 Semis Game 7 record fall to 0-1 (0-1 on the road) . . . Game 6: Milwaukee defeats Philadelphia 110-pts-100 to tie series 842 at 3-games-all; Milwaukee's 29-point lead at halftime was the fifth-largest halftime lead in best-of-7 NBA playoff games from 1947 through 2000, while Philadelphia's 46-point fourth quarter was the fifth-largest fourth quarter in best-of-7 NBA playoff games -- ironically, the second-largest fourth quarter in best-of-7 NBA playoff games was 48 points, by the Philadelphia 76ers vs. the Milwaukee Bucks in Game 3 of the 1970 Qtrs (series 224), while the largest halftime lead in best-of-7 NBA playoff games was 36 points, by the Milwaukee Bucks vs. the Philadelphia 76ers in Game 3 of the 1970 Qtrs (again, series 224); the most favorable Semis-round precedent for Milwaukee remains that of the 1948 Philadelphia Warriors, while the most recent Semis-round precedent for Philadelphia is that of the 1949 Detroit NHL Red Wings, which went WLLWWLW @ HHVVHVH in series 72 (a 1949 NHL Semis round vs. Montreal) . . . Game 5: Philadelphia defeats Milwaukee 89-pts-88 to take a 3-games-2 lead in series 842; Philadelphia trailed by nine points at halftime -- in best-of-7 NBA playoff games from 1947 through 2000, teams trailing by nine at the half had a 17-61 (.218) game record; Philadelphia improves its best-of-7 Semis Game 5 record to 5-7 (4-3 at home), while Milwaukee sees its best-of-7 Semis Game 5 record fall to 1-5 (0-5 on the road -- the Milwaukee NBA Bucks now own the worst NHL, NBA, or MLB team best-of-7 Semis Game 5 record on the road, with the Seattle NBA Supersonics next at 0-3); the most favorable Semis-round precedent for Milwaukee remains that of the 1948 Philadelphia Warriors (which also went LWWLL @ VVHHV, but won Games 6 and 7 to win series 69); Milwaukee has a 1-7 series record when trailing a best-of-7 series 3-games-2, but the one win was in the Bucks' previous best-of-7 round in 2001 (series 839, over Charlotte) . . . Game 4: Philadelphia evens up series 842 with a Game 4 victory over the Bucks in Milwaukee, 89-pts-83; Philadelphia trailed by 2 points at halftime -- in best-of-7 NBA playoff games from 1947 through 2000, road teams trailing by two at the half had only an 18-47 (.277) game record; in NBA best-of-7 playoff series, the most ironic (but favorable) precedent for Milwaukee (LWWL @ VVHH) is provided by a Philadelphia team -- in series 69, the Philadelphia Warriors lost Game 5 but won Games 6 and 7 to defeat the St. Louis Bombers in their 1948 NBA Semis series; in NBA best-of-7 playoff series, the most ironic (but favorable) precedent for Philadelphia (WLLW @ HHVV) is provided by Semis series 649 -- the Philadelphia MLB Phillies won Games 5 and 6 to defeat the Atlanta Braves to win their 1993 MLB Semis series (series 698 also saw the Philadelphia NHL Flyers open WLLW @ HHVV vs. Tampa Bay, and go on to win their 1996 NHL Prelim series); Philadelphia improves its best-of-7 Semis Game 4 record to 8-4 (3-4 on the road), while Milwaukee has its best-of-7 Semis Game 4 record fall to 5-3 (3-3 at home) . . . Game 3: Milwaukee defeats Philadelphia 80-pts-74 to take a 2-games-1 lead in series 842; in best-of-7 play, the 76ers have only a 1-10 series record upon trailing a series 2-games-1, but that single win was the win vs. Toronto in the just-completed 2001 NBA Qtrs series 838; Milwaukee improves its best-of-7 Semis Game 3 record to 3-5 (3-4 at home), while Philadelphia has its best-of-7 Semis Game 3 record fall to 7-5 (1-4 on the road) . . . Game 2: Milwaukee defeats Philadelphia 92-pts-78 to tie series 842 at 1-game-all; the win is the first for Milwaukee in five tries in Game 2 of a best-of-7 Semis series with the Bucks down 1-game-nil; with the Milwaukee road win in Game 2, and with the Lakers taking series 843 Games 1-2 in San Antonio, the road teams have won three of the first four games in the 2001 NBA Semis -- from 1976 (when the higher-seeded team began regularly playing NBA Semis Games 1-2 at home) through 2001, this time is the first time that the road teams have won more than two of the first four NBA Semis games in a given year (from 1976 through 2001, only five previous times [1977, 1978, 1980, 1981, 1995] had the road teams won as many as two of the first four NBA Semis games; on average, the road teams do well to win one of the first four NBA Semis games in a given year); in best-of-7 NBA playoff series from 1947 through 2000, when a team loses Game 1 by any margin but wins Game 2 by 14 points, its series record is 2-0 (Los Angeles Lakers, 1972 Finals; Washington Bullets, 1975 Qtrs); Milwaukee's 16-point lead after one quarter tied the 1992 Cleveland Cavaliers (series 620 vs. the Bulls in Chicago) for the largest lead after one quarter in Game 2 of a best-of-7 NBA Semis series . . . Game 1: Philadelphia defeats Milwaukee 93-pts-85 to take a 1-game-nil lead in series 842; Philadelphia thus improves its best-of-7 Semis Game 1 record to 6-6 (4-3 at home), while the Milwaukee best-of-7 Semis Game 1 record falls to 3-5 (1-5 on the road); in NBA best-of-7 series since 1947, home teams winning Game 1 by eight points have a 6-1 series record (though the single loss occurred in the last such series -- series 645, in which the New York Knickerbockers defeated the Chicago Bulls 98-pts-90 in New York in Game 1 of their 1993 Semis series, but lost the series to Chicago 4-games-2) . . . Pre-series: Philadelphia finished the regular season with four more wins than Milwaukee; from 1947 through the 2001 NBA Qtrs, when an NBA team had four more regular season wins than its playoff opponent, its series record against that opponent was 13-5. |
