Basketball:

Frequent miscommunication as to who is supposed to inbounds the ball when the other team makes a basket when you are down 6 or more

Baseball:

Other team keeps leading off the inning with hit or walk when you are already down 2-0
Baseball: the team you’re against gets a rally going after the first 2 outs and scores 1-2 runs.
Or your team gets a guy on second or third with no outs and scores no runs

Football: a drive where the team against you has 3-5 third down conversions in one drive.
Refs continually throw a flag against your team on third downs

Hockey: wide open nets are completely missed

Basketball: the way the fouls are called at the beginning to establish play. Not just regular fouls but the ones that can change the game style
