In the NBA....Tip off?

Question

What is the percentage of teams win/loss based on the opening tip off....Like For instance. The team that wins the tip off...Do they win the game or lose the game more often?

Answer 1

they say 55% who lose tip off win the game while 45% who win tipoff win the game

Answer 2

They probably have that stat somewhere, as they have stats for everything you can think of.... But I would imagine that the answer would be somewhere close to 50-50. I don't believe that the team that wins the tip has any advantage or disadvantage, because the team that wins the tip has the ball to start the game(since they won the tip) and in the 4th quarter, whereas the team that lost the tip gets the ball at the start of the 2nd and 3rd quarters. So there is no advantage to winning the tip in my opinion.
