88 games

Both New Orleans and SA wone 56 games in regular season, they were 2-2 in regular season head to head, and now they are 3-3 against each other in 2nd round. Which team will finally shake free of the other?

This is like a great Finals tennis match at Wimbledon(Borg-J McEnroe-Conners-Borg) where both players keep holding serve, there is no tie breaker, and you wonder who will break the others serve first, and win the championsip.

Hopefully, the road team will finally break though.....

Each team has played 93 games, not 88.

I am not counting 1st round because they played different teams those 5 games, whereas, in the regular season they played the same schedule....get the gist?
