How many nba teams have come back from an 0-2 deficit in a best-of-seven playoff series?

I was wondering about this since last night on TNT they said that 191/204 teams have won a 7 game series when up 2-0, around 94%. I want to know the 13 teams that have come back, but I'm having trouble finding this anywhere on the web. Any help would be appreciated.



I have 4 teams so far:



'07 Cavaliers (ECF vs. Detroit)



'07 Jazz (WC 1st vs. Houston)



'06 Heat (NBA Finals vs. Dallas)



'04 Lakers (WC SF vs. San Antonio)

I have some old basketball books, and very good memory of 80's and 90's NBA, so I can add the following:



1. 1969 Boston Celtics - came back to defeat Lakers in 7 games in NBA finals; Bill Russell's last yer



2. 1977 Portland Trailblazers - won 4 straight versus Sixers in 77 Finals after dropping first 2 in Philly (I'm old enough to have memories of that)



3. Houston : 1994 West semifinals versus Phoenix, they actually lost first 2 games at home, but rallied to win in 7)



4. Houston : 1995 West semifinals versus Phoenix (again!) and this time, Houston was actually trailing 3-1 and won 7th game on the ROAD at Phoenix



(Houston won the title both years)



5. 1993 Chicago Bulls (East Finals) - beat Knicks 4 straight after losing 1st two in Madison Square Garden, 2nd game featured Stark's great dunk in last minute



6. Dallas (1st round versus Rockets, 2004 or 2005): Dallas lost first 2 games at home but T-Mac and Yao Ming choked.



Plus your 4 teams, that's 10.



I have to check but I think Lakers were trailing 2-0 in 1970 West Semis to Hawks (then in West) as well and rallied from 2-0 and 3-1 deficit.
Phoenix is going to be another statistic.



They have the wrong coach leading them if they want to take back this series.



Athletically, Phoenix is superior to San Antonio. But where the Spurs are killing them is coaching and experience.

The '04 Lakers left San Antonio 0-2 down then won 4 straight to beat the spurs 4-2.
