On the court, each shot is the shooter’s face (gray when he missed), bigger the more it moved the chance. Chances from the site’s game model (the per-play numbers the Clutch and Performances tabs use aren’t built for this game).
85 points from the field on 82 shots: 2.3 fewer than the league scores from the same zones.
