Near-comebacks[edit | edit source]
As near-comebacks we count games where the losing side was far behind at some point, managed to come back later, but still ultimately lost with a single score (at most 8 points). Only games where the losing team had a deficit of at least 14 points and reduced it at least by 14 are listed.
