Notes to answerer
Asker: a point lead is used when a team has an advantage over another team, and is the upbeat language used for basketball, at least. THANKS

Asker: thanks!


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Edgar Hermann: that makes sense
2 hrs
  -> Thank you, Edgar! :-)
agree  Peter Shortall: Nothing wrong with dozen... only I'd expect "twelve-point lead", I don't hear it often in a sporting context!
3 hrs
  -> Yes, you are right! Twelve-point lead sounds more natural in such context. Thank you, Peter! :-)
agree  Mikhail Kropotov: I think is the right meaning. NOT 12 points scored during 7 minutes, but a 12-pt lead with 7min left until halftime
4 hrs
  -> Thank you, Mikhail! :-)
