game seven
Ultimate playoff contest
The deciding game in a best-of-seven playoff series, played only when each team has won three games.
Game seven carries enormous stakes—winner advances, loser goes home: They forced a game seven with last night's victory.
The term evokes high drama in baseball, basketball, and hockey playoffs, where everything rides on a single contest.
