Only four teams have done it, with the last time coming when the Boston Celtics dug themselves out of a 0-3 hole to force a Game 7 in the 2023 East finals against the Heat. But the Heat won Game 7 in Boston to avoid the historic collapse before falling to the Denver Nuggets in the 2023 NBA Finals.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are going up against the Miami Heat in the first round of the 2025 NBA playoffs and they are now one win away from a sweep after cruising in Miami, 124-87, on Saturday. It was the Heat's worst playoff loss in franchise history as Cleveland now holds a 3-0 series lead and will go for the knockout punch Monday in Miami.
