It is a best-of-seven series. The first team to win four games wins the NBA title.
I assume you mean the first team to lose the first two games of the Series on the road and come back to win. That was the 1955 Brooklyn Dodgers who lost the first two games of the Series to the New York Yankees at Yankee Stadium and came back to win the Series, 4 games to 3. Other teams to lose the first two games of the Series on the road and win were: The 1956 Yankees lost the first two games to the Dodgers at Ebbets Field and came back to win the Series, 4 games to 3. The 1958 Yankees lost the first two games to the Milwaukee Braves at County Stadium and came back to win the Series, 4 games to 3. The 1965 Los Angeles Dodgers lost the first two games to the Minnesota Twins at Metropolitan Stadium and came back to win the Series, 4 games to 3. The 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates lost the first two games to the Baltimore Orioles at Memorial Stadium and came back to win the Series, 4 games to 3. The 1978 Yankees lost the first two games to the Dodgers at Dodger Stadium and came back to win the Series, 4 games to 2. The 1981 Dodgers lost the first two games to the Yankees at Yankee Stadium and came back to win the Series, 4 games to 2.
Old-time pitcher Pud Galvin had 364 lifetime wins, but his career ended 11 years before the first World Series game was ever played. Robin Roberts had 286 career victories, but never appeared in a World Series. Nolan Ryan had 324 victories in his career, including seven no-hitters, but his only World Series appearence was as a reliever -- at the START of his career with the NY Mets!
