I have been looking at the half-point calculator with interest:
It seems that most pushes in basketball occurs between 3.5%-5% for every x-point margin except for the 1-point push in NBA that only occurs 2.27%! (In NCAA the 1-point push occurs 3.47%)
Can anyone come up with some reasonable explanation for this? Can it have something to do with the way teams play in the last minutes of a tight game??
