This occurs when two teams have played an uneven amount of games. Say one team's record is 84-35, which is 119 games. The team behind them by a half game would be 84-36, at 120 games. Thus, the team with fewer losses is ahead, only because they have not played the same amount of games.

What does half game back mean in baseball?

This is how the team stacks up in a conference. For example the leading team has 9 wins and 1 (900 average) and the next team has 8 wins and 1 loss (889 average) and is a half a game back from the leading team. A team can only move up or down (1) half game per win or loss. Since the second team has one less total games played, and if they win that game, they will move up a half a game and tie the leader. If that team losses, they fall back one game.

A half court game would refer to a slower game, one that is played mostly with set offense against set defense. A full court game refers to a game in which at least one team speeds up the tempo (e.g. fast breaking, pressing). So the difference has to do with tempo: half-court is a slowed down game and a full court game would have a quicker pace
