もう一つの注目すべきサプライズは、Detroit PistonsがPhiladelphia 76ersに辛勝したことです。76ersは主力選手を欠いていましたが、Pistonsの粘り強さ、特に第4クォーターでのパフォーマンスは印象的でした。彼らは最終クォーターでPhiladelphiaを30-22で上回り、ベンチユニットがそのうち15点を貢献し、予想外��層の厚さとクラッチパフォーマンスを示しました。さらに詳しい洞察については、Doncic to Thunder: A Bold, Analytics-Driven Dynasty Playに関する記事をご覧ください。
今週、数人の選手が統計的な傑作を披露しました。
第13週は、スリーポイントの量と効率の間の継続的な議論に焦点を当てました。Houston Rocketsのようなチームは、平均45本のスリーポイントを放ちましたが、成功率は控えめな32%で、しばしば予測可能なオフェンスの停滞につながりました。対照的に、Minnesota Timberwolvesは、スリーポイントの試投数は少なかったものの(1試合あたり32本)、リーグ最高の41%で成功させ、選択的で質の高い試投が単なる量よりも影響力があることを示しました。さらに詳しい洞察については、Nuggets vs Celtics: データに基づいたNBAファイナルプレビューに関する記事をご覧ください。
異なるピック・アンド・ロールのディフェンススキームの有効性も主要なテーマでした。Memphis Grizzliesは、ダイナミックなミッドレンジスコアラーが少ないチームに対して「ドロップ」カバレッジを成功裏に採用し、ビッグマンが効果的にリムを守ることを可能にしました。しかし、エリートのプルアップシューターで知られるGolden State Warriorsのようなチームは、このカバレッジを壊滅的な効率で利用し、試合中に調整を余儀なくさせました。
