How have Philly sports teams fared in Game 7 situations before?

This will be the 32nd Game 7 for a Philadelphia team. The Sixers are 5-7, the Flyers 9-7, the Warriors were 1-1 and the Athletics were 0-1.

The Phillies have never played in a Game 7. They played in two Game 5s which ended five-game series, including the heart-stopping 1980 NLCS win over the Astros, but haven’t played in a Game 7.

Let’s start with the Sixers and finish with Connie Mack.

>>They are 1-6 all-time in road Game 7s. The only victory was a win the 1982 Eastern Conference Finals that was so resounding, Celtics fans memorably chanted, “Beat L.A.” in the fourth quarter. If Larry Bird wasn’t going to win the title, they wanted to see Julius Erving finally get his ring. Anybody but Magic Johnson. The Sixers lost to the Lakers in 6. Doc would win his title the following season.

>>The Sixers first Game 7 was also in Boston. This time it was a loss in 1965 when John Havlicek stole the ball off Hal Greer to clinch it for the Celts.

>>Had to win two Game 7s on their road to winning the 2001 Eastern Conference. Beat Toronto in the East semis and Milwaukee in the East Finals. Oddly, those are the two teams standing in the Sixers’ way now. A win over Toronto would get them a date with Milwaukee. Biggest difference was the Sixers had homecourt advantage in 2001.

>>Allen Iverson set the Sixers record for points in a Game 7 when he dropped 44 on Milwaukee in ’01.

>>Most points by a Sixer in a Game 7 on the road was 37 by Archie Clark in a 1971 loss at Baltimore. The Sixers rallied from a 3-1 deficit, but couldn’t finish the comeback.

>>Other Sixers highs in Game 7s: Wilt Chamberlain 34 rebounds (1968 loss to Boston), Allen Iverson 16 assists (2001 win over Toronto), Iverson made 4 for 6 three-pointers (2001 win over Milwaukee).

>>The Sixers most recent Game 7 was an 85-75 loss to the Celtics in 2012. Sixers records in Game 7 by opponent: Boston (2-4), Milwaukee (2-1), Toronto (1-0), Baltimore (0-1), San Antonio (0-1).

>>Syracuse went 1-2 in Game 7s before they moved to Philadelphia and became the 76ers. Those games are not counted here.

The Philadelphia Warriors won basketball’s first Game 7, when they throttled St. Louis to advance to the 1948 BAA finals -- the predecessor to the NBA.

The Warriors forced St. Louis to miss 80 field-goal attempts (80!) in the 85-46 victory, which almost surely will stand as the fewest points ever scored by a team in a Game 7.

Joe Fulks had 15 to lead the Warriors, which left Philadelphia for San Francisco following the 1961-62 season. Fulks was 54 when he was shot and killed by the son of his girlfriend in 1976.

>>The Warriors other Game 7, while in Philly, was a 1962 loss at Boston. Wilt Chamberlain was 0-3 in his career in Game 7s against Bill Russell and 4-5 overall. Wilt lost to Russell as a Warrior, a Sixer and a Laker. Russell was 10-0 in his career in Game 7s. Phew.

>>The Flyers played in a Game 7 in their first ever playoff series (a 1968 loss at St. Louis) and needed to win Game 7s in the conference finals in both 1974 and 1975 before winning the Stanley Cup.

>>Gary Dornhoefer scored the game-winner midway through the third period when the Flyers beat the Rangers in Game 7 of the 1974 semifinals. It marked the first time an expansion team had beaten an “Original Six” club in a postseason series.

>>The following year, the Flyers almost pulled an all-time gag when they blew a 3-0 series lead to the Islanders before winning Game 7 at the Spectrum. Afterward, Islanders goalie Chico Resch was a little miffed at Kate Smith. “It’s [OK] for her to come out and rouse the place and get the crowd roaring,” he said. “But gees, she must have been out there for 15 minutes. It’s hard to concentrate with all of that going on. I mean it’s nice if she’d just do her thing and let us play. She had them roaring for 10 minutes. But I’m not using that as an [excuse].”

>>Rick MacLeish had three goals in that game. He’s one of six players in history with a hat trick in a Game 7. Nobody’s done it since Wayne Gretzky in 1993.

>>The only Stanley Cup Finals Game 7 the Flyers played was a 1987 loss to the mighty Edmonton Oilers. Edmonton won the game 3-1 with all three of its goals scored by eventual Hall of Famers (Glenn Anderson, Jari Kurri and Mark Messier). Wayne Gretzky had an assist. Grant Fuhr was in net. The fact that Flyers team, which was without its best forward Tim Kerr (shoulder), took the Oilers to seven games was remarkable. They should be held up there in city lore with the 1993 Phillies and the 2001 Sixers.

>>Bernie Parent was 3-1 in Game 7s for the Flyers with a 2.25 goals against average and a .913 save percentage. Bobby Clarke had three assists in his four Game 7s.

>>Brian Propp and Rick Tocchet are the only players to appear in five Game 7s as a Flyer. Propp went 2-3 and had three goals and two assists in his five games. Tocchet also was 2-3, with a goal and an assist.

>>Eric Lindros played in just one Game 7 for the Flyers. The older one gets, the harder that Scott Stevens’ hit on Lindros in 2000 is to watch.

>>The Flyers first wiped out an 0-3 series deficit and THEN climbed out of an 0-3 hole in Game 7 at Boston in 2010 for a comeback for the ages. Simon Gagne returned from toe surgery to score in overtime in Game 4, net two more goals in Game 5 and bang in the game-winner in Game 7.

>>The Flyers last played in a Game 7 in 2014, losing 2-1 to Henrik Lundqvist and the Rangers at Madison Square Garden. Jason Akeson scored the Flyers’ goal. Doubt even “Jeopardy” James Holzhauer would have gotten that one.

The first Game 7 for a Philadelphia team was also the last postseason game for the grand old man of early baseball. The Athletics lost in St. Louis in the 1931 World Series.

Cardinals Hall of Famer Burleigh Grimes’ shutout the powerful A’s for the first eight innings. Philadelphia scored two runs in the ninth, but the game ended when Max Bishop lined out to Pepper Martin with two men on. Managers Connie Mack, Gabby Street and Martin had bylines in The Inquirer the following day. They were probably what we would consider today as quotes.

Martin, also a Hall of Famer, started the series 12 for 18, but he went 0 for 3 in Game 7.

“I didn’t get a hit today, but shucks, what of that,” Martin said in The Inquirer the following day. “The other boys were hitting. Our team won, and that’s all that counts.”

Meanwhile, the A’s, which had won the previous two World Series, would never appear in another postseason game while located in Philadelphia. They moved to Kansas City following the 1954 season.

“I felt certain that we would carry off the title after yesterday’s victory [in Game 6], but I was wrong.” Mack said. “Burleigh Grimes pitched better ball then I thought and the Missourians were triumphant.”

So now bring on those Torontoans. Or is it Ontarionians? Whatever. Tip-off is at 7 p.m.
