其他摘要：Apparently the behavior during a basketball game, as in other team sports, shows tremendous variability manifested inboth individual and collective ways. However, when a significant number of games are studied, we can observe the unpredictabilitythat characterizes the game. The degree of complexity of the game is not stable. Patterns change during all the game time, but the lastminute is completely different reality. Our aim was to test and evaluate the existence of these patterns and their apparent complexity,by analyzing the NBA games scoring and substitution dynamics. Therefore, we examined the difference between the last minute andthe rest of the game from the collected scores (1, 2 and 3 points), substitutions and timeouts. The underlying chaotic behavior of nonlinearinteractions is inherent in Complex Systems. The data showed the existence of symmetries and repeated patterns of play duringbasketball games of the NBA but the last minute, which can be considered a completely different game.
