In the video Gabe says its the first player to reach 21 points or more and is ahead by at least two points, so if Nate reaches 19 points it doesn't matter because neither of them have reached the required minimum of 21 points

Does that make sense?

maybe i dont get this right but "ahead by two points" means the different between them should be two point right? so the game must ended when nateScore is 19 because 19 vs 16 is ahead of 2 points right?

so why the game ended with 21 points on nate and 16 points on kyle thats a 5 point different (nate is ahead 5 point) <-- should be 2 points right??
