Good teams lose games on the road. The midpoint of home court winning percentage is about 67%, and studies suggest that teams from all over the spectrum win about 26% more often at home than they do on the road. Ken Pomeroy numbers do even more to show how difficult it is to beat even middling top 100 teams on the road. All of this to say that good teams are going to lose when they travel to play other good, or even merely solid teams, on the road.
There is a difference, though, between losing and being boatraced by 25 in a game that didn’t really even feel that close.
