Deadline is tipoff. I was trying to figure out what the best way to determine "closest score" would be. I think I'm going to take the sum of the difference in each score for the team. Lowest score total wins.
For example, Cavs win 105-98. Poster A guesses 103-99. His score would be the sum of 105-103=2 and 99-98=1 for a total of 3. Poster B guesses 111-98. His score would be 6. Poster A wins. Tiebreakers will be some sort of coin flip I guess, but preference will be given if one of the scores is accurately predicted. If you have a low score but guessed the wrong winner, it doesn't count.

Since I am overseas, I may not be able to watch this game live (14 hour time difference). I plan on watching it online with NBA League Pass and then I will announce the winner. (Determining the winner before watching the game kind of defeats the purpose of watching it
)
