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: 51.5%-1.621st
Turnovers: 14.1%+0.016th
Off. rebounding: 24.9%-2.525th
Free throws: 32.5%+3.56th

What opponents do

Shooting: 56.0%+2.825th
Turnovers: 13.1%-1.022nd
Off. rebounding: 24.1%-3.28th
Free throws: 34.0%+4.928th

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
