OT - European basketball point spreads???
Reading Justin Ingram's tweets and it sounds like they incorporate the spread into the score in European basketball??? Does anyone know for sure how this works? It seems like it could be confusing and somewhat unfair.

RE: OT - European basketball point spreads???
I found the website of the team he is playing for. It was in Estonian (thank god for translate) read the semi-broken english translation, and I think it may work like a 2 leg soccer match, where whoever has more goals (points for basketball) moves on, but from Justin's reaction it may not be that way. Confusing people those Euros

That's likely it. There are a places in soccer, hockey and basketball that play 2-game, total goals(points) series.

Ingram's team won the second game by 11, but had lost the first game by 14, so...
