HOUSTON -- No team in the history of the NBA playoffs has ever overcome a 3-0 deficit to win a best-of-seven series, but the Rockets are trying to change that.
Entering Fridayâs Game 6 of their first-round matchup with the Lakers, the Rockets are just the 16th team in NBA history to force a sixth game after losing the first three of the series.
A potential Game 7 would be Sunday in Los Angeles, and if the Rockets somehow pulled off a pair of wins this weekend, they would be the first NBA team to ever win a series after trailing 3-0 (out of 161 all-time scenarios).
As All-Star center Alperen Sengun sees it, much of the credit for Houstonâs fighting spirit is due to the teamâs coaching staff, led by Ime Udoka as head coach.
Speaking at Fridayâs gameday shootaround, Sengun said of Udoka:
Heâs been doing an amazing job. We know where we came from. With him, weâre fighters. Weâre warriors. When I say we are hungry, Iâm not saying just the players. The coaches are the same way.
When we were down 3-0, everybody was still believing. We never give up. Thatâs our chemistry, and it comes from them (coaches) most of the time.
And as teammate Jabari Smith Jr. clarified, the Rockets arenât thinking about history just yet. Led by Udoka, the focus remains on one game at a time.
âWeâre just thinking about Game 6,â Smith told reporters. âWeâre just worried about the task at hand, tonight. Weâre thinking about doing things that weâve got to do to win.â
âWeâre not thinking about Game 7,â Smith concluded. âWeâll think about it tonight, when weâve got to pack our bags (for a trip to Los Angeles). Not right now.â
No team in NBA history has ever come back to win a best-of-seven series after trailing 3-0.
If the Rockets win both games, they would become the first NBA team to win a series after being down 3-0.
Ime Udoka is the head coach of the Houston Rockets in this playoff series.
