A few weeks ago, I went through about 10 years of NBA finals. I have since deleted the info I compiled, but I believe I had come up with 3 times the team losing the series had scored more points over the course of the series than the winning team.

I also use the baseball analogy.
The Mets score 2 runs on 3 hits with no errors. The Phillies score 1 run on 10 hits with no errors. It doesn’t mean the Phillies win 1100 to 230.
Cubs and Indians both scored 27 runs in the last World Series, in fact Cleveland should have been crowned champions because after 9 innings of Game 7, they had scored one more run than the Cubs in the series.
So you’re saying that if I’m out playing nine holes of golf with Mr. Megan and he scores a 45 and I score a 57 that I win, right?

Arg....I can still see Mazeroski’s homer...
Just this year, the Cubs scored just one less run than the Indians for the series.
But that’s not faaaair!

And in last year’s Super Bowl, the Panthers outgained the Broncos by over 100 yards.
That is exactly what I am saying. The one with the most strokes is always the winner! It is called stamina baby! LOL.
Who do you think you are, Clarence Carter? ;)
First world series I had any awareness of. I remember, still, how Mazeroski’s name was spelled in the box score:
“M’z’r’ski”.
I guess they didn’t have enough room to make it fit.
Afternoon game too!
A guy loses the first set 1-6, comes back to win the second 6-4, loses the third 0-6 (He gave up rather than wasting energy on something that was lost after he was broken in the first game of the set.), and then wins out 6-3, 6-4.
He's champion even though he won only 19 games to his opponent's 23, to say nothing about who won the most points. Those are the rules.
