I don't think there that team; also I don't think any team ever won two back to back seven games series.

The '94 New York Knicks, the '08 Boston Celtics, and the '13 Miami Heat might be able to help you out there. They all won back-to-back Game 7s. The '88 Lakers even did it 3 times in a row. And the '94 New York Knicks came just 1 more win (1 less stinker from John Starks) away from doing it 3 times in a row as well.

However, all those teams did it at home. None of those Game 7s were won on the road. And to your point, the one thing that all those teams had going from them is that they had this tenacity, this grit, this hard-hitting mentality that was able to kick them to another gear and perform at that special level I mentioned earlier in order to win. It's not a coincidence that 3 out of those 4 teams I mentioned went on to win the championship. 

You could say they had the "Championship DNA" even though the Knicks obviously didn't win the title. I wouldn't say the same thing about the Clippers. With the exception of Kawhi, none of those guys strike me as having "Championship DNA."
