Best Playoff Series Ever?

The 1st round series between the Chicago Bulls and the Boston Celtics has been riveting television. These two almost completely evenly matched teams have left it all out on the court for 6 games. The final chapter of this unbelievable series comes to an end tonight. Game 7 is at 7:00pm.

Series notes:
  • This series has already had 4 games go into overtime, an NBA record. The previous record was 2 games.
  • The series has had 7 total overtime periods which is another NBA record.
  • 5 of the 6 games played have been decided by 3 points or less, an NBA record.
  • The series has had 106 lead changes and 65 ties.
(UPDATE: The thrill is gone, Celtics take game 7 109-99. Ray Allen had 23 and Paul Pierce had 20 to lead Boston to a first round victory. The Celtics also held the Bulls to 39% shooting for the game. The C's have won the battle but Chicago is a young team with a great PG who will be contending for years to come. Derrick Rose = Jason Kidd with a jump shot.)
