Back to Back games in the playoff. This once was a thing.

We all know, the past few years or so players have been complaining about too many back to back games (and too many games in a season at at.)
Well, at one time teams have played as many as five games in a row. This was regular season I'm speaking of.

But in the playoffs, even though it was back in the day I'd think they wouldn't have back to back playoff games so often.

Well as recent as 2003, there was a back to back playoff game. A Kings-Mavs 2nd round game. I even remember that one. The scores of those 2 games were night and day
-May 10th double overtime Mavs 141 over Kings 137
-May 11th Kings 99 Mavs 83

The 1980 NBA Finals featured a back to back game as well.

Or how about this one. A 1968 playoff series featuring the Sixers and Knicks had the teams playing 3 nights in a row. And Get this; game 4 in NY, game 5 in Philly and game 6 back in NY.

Couple you imagine a team playing in Milwaukee one night than flying to Miami for the next game? Well at least they're flying now. Pretty that game from the 60s they took the train.

They also used to not flop.

Flopping didn't exist but maybe it did.
