There is tremendous financial incentive for sports playoff series to extend as long as possible, for example, Game 7, because of the revenue generated from each game.
Statistically analyze the variance of games in playoffs versus regular season to determine whether it is happening.
The countervailing incentive is the longer a playoff goes, the more likely the leading or favored team is to lose the series or the championship. Losing them decreases revenue.
