Zach Kram: Re NBA blowouts: 18% of games this postseason have been decided by 25+ points. The record is 23% in 2016. But we remember the 2016 playoffs as amazing because of GSW-OKC and CLE-GSW. A few remarkable moments and series can make up for other blowouts across the board.

Jorge Sierra: The combined winning percentage of the 2022 Conference finalists is 63.7 percent. That’s the worst mark since 1984, per @Alberto de Roa.

Tommy Beer: Most three-point attempts in a Game 7 in NBA history: 1. Grant Williams: 18 (yesterday) 2. Stephen Curry: 15 (2018) 3. Stephen Curry: 14 (2016) 4. Jamal Murray: 13 (2020) 5. James Harden: 13 (2018) 6. Stephen Curry: 12 (2016)

Jamal Collier: The Celtics made 53 more 3-pointers than the Bucks in this series. Per @ESPNStatsInfo : that’s the largest differential in 3-pt FG in a single series in NBA postseason history.

Tommy Beer: With the Bucks eliminated, it means we will have a new NBA champion for the the fifth straight season… that’s the longest such streak without a back-to-back winner since the 1970s
