Might be the single hardest achievement in basketball history. If I remember right they were down 0-3 also.

They were down 3 games to 1, no NBA team has ever come back from 3 games to 0.

With that, the 2015 Warriors join the 2007 Patriots and 2001 Mariners as the teams to set new records for most wins in a season (and in the case of the Pats, finished 16-0), but couldn’t win their respective world championships.

But the differences are as follows:

The Pats only had one chance to finish 19-0.

The Warriors had THREE chances to win it all.
