Four factors

Dean Oliver’s four factors: shoot well, avoid turnovers, rebound your own misses, and get to the line. Most of what separates teams is in the first one.

What this team does

Shooting: 56.1%+1.5
Turnovers: 12.2%-0.5
Off. rebounding: 26.9%+0.9
Free throws: 26.5%+0.2

What opponents do

Shooting: 54.3%-0.2
Turnovers: 13.1%+0.4
Off. rebounding: 25.6%-0.4
Free throws: 26.3%-0.1

Each marker is this team; the tick is the league average. Teal means the better side of average for that factor, so on the opponent side a low number is the good one. The figure after each value is the gap in percentage points.

Season trend

Rolling averages across the season. Each unit gets its own panel and its own axis, so nothing here is an artifact of two scales sharing a plot.

Schedule splits

Opponent quality uses each opponent’s record across the whole season. The rest rows leave out a team’s first game, which has no prior rest to measure.

Quarters and clutch

Clutch means the last five minutes with the score within five points. A weak fourth quarter next to a healthy clutch rating means the damage happens before crunch time.
