The term "point gap" refers to a difference in points between two teams or individuals, often used in sports. It describes how many more points one team needs to gain compared to another team to win a competition or tournament. For example, if Team A has 100 points and Team B has 95 points, then the point gap is 5 points (100 - 95 = 5). The term can also be used in other contexts where there are differences between two things that need to be closed or bridged.
