As I followed the Boston/Atlanta series, I thought it was interesting that the home team won every game. Anyone know how often that happens/how rare that is?

I'd be curious to know both in general (e.g. 1%), as well as the percentage of 7 game series where the home team wins every game(maybe 10% of that subset?).

Thanks,
Aaron

I just put this data together so there may be inaccuracies (the data is from ShrpSports), but it looks like from the '84 to '07 playoffs (I haven't compiled earlier playoffs, which included best-of-three series), 24 of the 360 playoff series (7%) had zero games where the road team won. And 10 of the 48 series (21%) that went to seven games had zero games where the road team won.

Last time it happened was the Miami-New Orleans series Wade's rookie year.
