The numbers could see it though.. They have the data to use much more than we do.

A team is down 8 with 1 min to go.. Some teams press it out, foul and make a few 3s and lose by 4, some teams press it out, foul miss a few 3s and lose by16, some teams let it finish and lose by 8,

all three games are the same game unless a team actually comes back and wins, but how does the computer deal with it

Some teams throw the walkons in on a 15 pt game who knows where it goes.  lose by 7 or 25.

you could in theory add some logic to see where the game was at every TO break.  game flow does matter.

You could be in a close game with 45 secs left, foul go down 6, miss a 3 foul again go down 8, and a walkon throws in a 30fter at the buffer and you lose by 11..

you lose by 20 in fb and you more often than not were not in the game for a good chunk of it.. Bball is vastly different you can lose 5-10 pts in 30 secs all the time.  commit a foul on a 3 get a T throw a ball away and lose 6-7 pts in 10 secs.

If a team goes 6-7 deep and plays out the string they will probably not win as many blowouts as a team that goes 8-10 deep.   It doesn't mean they didn't have the game under control they just don't have the depth when they take the starters out in a game they have won.
