Basketball captures the tension and momentum in a livelier way. A team coming back from being down 15 is so much more exciting because it requires a sequence of offensive plays and defensive stops. You can feel the momentum shift as the team who was up suddenly can’t buy a basket.
The problem with basketball is last two minutes. What should be the most exciting part of the game becomes a drag with timeouts and intentional fouling.
