What Game Script means
Game script describes how a game's flow unfolds relative to the score as it develops. A team trailing by two scores in the fourth quarter has a very different game script - more passing, more urgency, more late-game clock stoppages - than a team comfortably protecting a big lead, which is why understanding likely game script matters heavily for player prop and live-betting decisions specifically.
