It has a pretty clear definition – if you need only one posession to tie the game, it a one possesion game. No matter how you slice it, you only need one posession to tie an eight point game.

It’s really just that the whole concept is completely useless, since it treats a two point game and an 8 point game the same – making it a useless measure of “how much are team X in the game”. And a useless concept like this should never ever dictate your desicion making.
