As extracted from nba.com,
'Chicago leads the series 3-0 - a cushion no team has ever wasted
in NBA history - and will go for the sweep in Miami on Sunday
afternoon.
Entering these playoffs, 78 teams had faced 0-3 deficits. The Heat
need no one to tell them that all 78 have failed to win.'
As for performances of the defending champions over the last 6-7
seasons, only the Pistons managed to make the conference finals,
which they eventually lost to the Heat last year. The others fell
at the conference semis. Dont think any defending champs got
knocked out at the first hurdle.
