Barcelona's 93: 103 Summary over Malaga (Sport 1)

The corona plague has many effects on world sports, and they have not skipped the Euroleague either.

Maccabi Tel Aviv will experience this firsthand this coming Thursday, when it returns to the ring after more than three weeks of forced recess, in light of the fact that its two home games against Anadolu Efes and Moscow Khimki have been postponed.



On the eve of the 25th round, with 211 Euroleague games behind us, there are a number of notable trends that can be identified this season, and some of them are certainly related to the new and unconventional reality.

In the absence of fans in the stands, the home advantage was almost completely eliminated: the balance in the games stands at 54% success for the host teams and 46% for the guests, and this change is extreme.

In years past, the locals have not dropped from 63%.

As a result of the distribution of results, the table in the current season is tighter than ever.

Barcelona tops the table with 17 wins and seven losses;

The same balance at this point was only enough for her to finish fourth in the previous two years.

The gap between the leader and the team in seventh place is 11.7%, less than the gap last year between first and second place.



The games themselves have become tighter: 22.7% of the meetings so far have ended with a gap of one basket (three points and below), while last year rates were 16.2% of the games and two years ago only 14.1%.



The regular season will only end in ten more rounds (and more replay games), but the number of overtimes recorded in it is the highest since the Euroleague switched to league format.

So far, 15 games have ended in a draw (7.1% of all tackles), last season there were 14 overtimes (6.5%) and before that there were seven overtimes in 2019, eight in 2018 and six in 2017.
