Four factors

What is this

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%+1.55th
Turnovers: 12.2%-0.59th
Off. rebounding: 26.9%+0.99th
Free throws: 26.5%+0.215th

What opponents do

Shooting: 54.3%-0.215th
Turnovers: 13.1%+0.411th
Off. rebounding: 25.6%-0.412th
Free throws: 26.3%-0.116th

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, and the last one is the league rank.

Season trend

What is this

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

What is this

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. Shooting percentages are averaged per game.

Quarters and clutch

What is this

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.
