Leading Indicator

Statistics can be onerous, but this one is worth passing on. I got it from a poster on sportsjournalists.com who must've been waiting a long time for a final score to put in the late edition last night.

Since the NBA Finals went to the 2-3-2 format in 1985, 10 of the 25 series have been tied 1-1 after the first two games. The team that won Game Three went on to win EVERY one of those series. Ten for ten. It may be a small sample size, but 1.000 remains a notable winning percentage.
