#1 Los Angeles Lakers 97-95 Seattle Supersonics: 29 Points, 1989
The largest deficit overcome in a game in the playoffs came all the way back in 1989. The Lakers, reaching the back 9 of the Showtime era, were looking to match the Celtics as the only teams ever to win 3 NBA titles in a row. After relatively easy wins in the first 3 games, they stumbled out of the blocks in Game 4.
