THURSDAY TAVERN TALK…

We’ve seen a lot of 4^th quarter comebacks this season – 23 to be exact – out of 73 games (32% of this year’s games have seen a team who is trailing in the 4^th quarter pull out a win) 

Since 1954, the only other season with a 4^th-quarter comeback win percentage of at least 30.0 percent was in 1989 (33.3%).
