Three out of the four best-of-five series of the 2019 EuroLeague playoffs are tied, 1-1. Three playoffs series were knotted after two games only twice in the past, 2006 and 2008, while in 2011 all four entered a stalemate following the first two matches. Eurohoops dives into all 27 series that were tied at one apiece since 2004.
In 17 occasions, the team that started with the home-court advantage ultimately advanced. Since 2009 and the introduction of the best-off-five series, nine out of the eighteen teams split at 1-1 gained the home-court advantage to progress.
Here’s the full list with home-court advantage initially belonging to the first side of each pairing:
