    What are the number 8 seeds teams that beat the top seeds in the history of NBA? The only ones I remember is the 2007 Warriors against Mavs. I also heard from my dad about the Nuggets won over Seattle in 1994.

    Also, anybody knows how many teams won the series while down 0-3?

    No team has won a series being down 0-3 in basketball. It's happened twice in hockey and once in baseball- the Red Sox did it against the Yankees in 2004.

    The #8 seed Knicks advanced to the Finals in 1999- not sure if they beat the #1 seed to do it, though.

    Grizzlies over Spurs was the most recent one. Happened only like 2 seasons ago.

    Trail Blazers came back from a 0-3 deficit but lost game 7 to Mavs. Happened close to 10 years ago.

    I think he means coming back from being down 0-2 in a 5 game series or down 0-3 in a 7 game series. The Nuggets did it in 1994, any other #8 seeds?
