Win probability turns the score and clock into a live percentage. Early on, even a big lead is fragile because plenty of scoring remains; late in the game, the same lead is nearly safe because the uncertainty has shrunk. Modeling the remaining margin as a shrinking random variable produces the classic curve that broadcasts now show on screen.
