The Celtics may have dominated the Hawks in Game 7 with a 34 point victory,  but it wasn’t the largest game 7 deficit in playoff history.

The largest margin of victory in game 7 of an NBA Playoffs series is 40 points by the Dallas Mavericks over the Houston Rockets (116-76) in the 2005 Western Conference first round.
