5 largest comebacks in NBA Playoffs history

#3 Cleveland Cavaliers 119-114 Indiana Pacers: 26 Points, 2017

LeBron James

It's easy to forget that just like this year, the Cavs-Pacers series in Round 1 last year was pretty close despite the end result being a sweep. After close losses in Game 1 & 2, the Pacers went on a first-half onslaught and were at one point up 26. They scored 74 points, a franchise record and held a 25 point halftime lead. Then, their offense went ice cold.

Indiana shot 5/26 in the 3rd quarter and to make matters worse, the Cavs shot lights out. Then in the 4th, LeBron turned himself into the human wrecking ball as Cleveland with Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love on the bench, went on another scoring explosion to seal the game and basically the series.

The 26-point halftime deficit was the largest for the Cavs in NBA playoff history. This game was seen as somewhat of a turning point for Cleveland. After a sluggish end to the Regular season, and a sluggish start against Indiana, they crushed the Raptors and Celtics in the next 2 rounds to advance to their 3rd straight Finals.
