A literal climax can be anti-climactic by being less exciting or awesome than hoped for. In fact, mostly people would not use the term 'anti-climactic' to describe anything other than the resolution to a situation.

"The start of that movie was so anticlimactic"! "The middle of the book was too anticlimactic for my tastes." When have you ever heard anything like that?

An anticlimactic ending would be an own-goal or a Mike Smith brain fart…..something that is completely out of character with the rest of the game. A great shot into the smallest opening on the worst angle after a dangerous first shot is completely in keeping with the game. It took a perfect shot to win it. Scored by the best player who had been robbed several times already. There is no anti- there. None.
