Definition
逆转 is a verb meaning 'to turn around' and can describe either positive reversals (overcoming a disadvantage to win, as in sports or medical recovery) or negative reversals (a situation getting worse, roughly 'deteriorate'). The specific sense depends heavily on the noun it modifies: 逆转比分 (turn the score around) is positive, while 形势逆转 (situation reverses) can be either good or bad. Common in news and formal speech.
