That's a weird stat.

Also, I thought I should post that Dallas destroyed the record of when teams are tied at 1-1 in the finals that the winner of game 3 goes on to win the series 100% of the time. Dallas just made history by being the first team to win the Championship after being tied 1-1 and losing game 3.
